A coefficient of friction (COF) tester measures the static and kinetic friction between two surfaces โ most often two layers of plastic film, or film against a metal or packaging surface. A sled of standard weight rests on the film and is pulled horizontally at constant speed while a load cell records the force needed to start the sled moving (static friction) and to keep it moving (kinetic friction). The ratios of these forces to the sled weight give the static and kinetic COF.
COF is a critical property for film used on high-speed packaging and form-fill-seal machines: too high and the film jams, too low and reels slip and telescope. Film producers, converters and packaging-machinery users test COF to ASTM D1894 and ISO 8295 to ensure smooth machine running and consistent slip-additive performance.
Look for a COF tester with a stable horizontal plane, a precise low-force load cell, a standard sled and controlled test speed. International Equipments' COF (inclined-plane) tester meets ASTM D1894 and can be supplied alongside other film-testing instruments for a complete film QC laboratory.
Hyderabad has emerged as a major centre for pharmaceutical packaging, polymer films, specialty plastics and food packaging, with industrial areas at Patancheru, IDA Cherlapally and Uppal hosting a dense cluster of converters and compounders. Pharmaceutical and food-packaging applications place particular emphasis on seal-strength, peel and film-property testing, while the specialty-plastics sector needs full mechanical and thermal characterisation. International Equipments serves Hyderabad's laboratories with peel testers, heat sealers, COF testers, MFI testers and the wider polymer-testing range.
As a direct manufacturer rather than a reseller, International Equipments offers customers in Hyderabad a distinct advantage: you deal directly with the company that designs and builds the COF Tester, so pricing is competitive, lead times are shorter, and technical questions are answered by the engineers who actually build the instrument. Whether you are setting up a new quality-control laboratory in Patancheru, IDA Cherlapally, Uppal or upgrading existing equipment, our team can recommend the right COF Tester configuration for your materials, standards and throughput, and support it with installation, operator training and periodic calibration.
Hyderabad's Patancheru and IDA Cherlapally host pharma packaging, polymer film and specialty plastics manufacturers demanding quality testing. The demand for COF Tester in Hyderabad comes from Pharma packaging, Polymer films, Specialty plastics industries in Patancheru, IDA Cherlapally, Uppal.
