What Is ISO 15359?<\/h2>\n

ISO 15359<\/strong> is an international standard that specifies a coefficient of friction test method<\/strong> for paper and board using the horizontal plane principle. The standard evaluates both the \u05de\u05e7\u05d3\u05dd \u05d7\u05d9\u05db\u05d5\u05da \u05e1\u05d8\u05d8\u05d9<\/strong> \u05d5- \u05de\u05e7\u05d3\u05dd \u05d4\u05d7\u05d9\u05db\u05d5\u05da \u05d4\u05e7\u05d9\u05e0\u05d8\u05d9<\/strong> between two paper or paperboard surfaces under controlled laboratory conditions.<\/p>\n

For manufacturers of paper packaging, folding cartons, labels, corrugated products, and specialty papers, friction characteristics directly affect material handling, feeding performance, stacking behavior, printing operations, and packaging line efficiency. ISO 15359 provides a standardized approach for quantifying these friction properties and ensuring consistent product performance.<\/p>\n

Unlike many friction tests that only measure initial sliding resistance, ISO 15359 also evaluates friction behavior after controlled wear cycles, offering a more realistic assessment of how paper surfaces behave during actual converting and packaging operations.<\/p>\n

Why Is the Coefficient of Friction of Paper Important?<\/h2>\n

\u05d4- coefficient of friction of paper<\/strong> significantly influences manufacturing efficiency and product performance throughout the supply chain.<\/p>\n
