ISO 15359

Paper and Board COF Testing Machine

ISO 15359 specifies a horizontal plane method for determining the static and kinetic coefficients of friction of paper and board materials. A paper and board COF testing machine measures the force required to initiate movement between two contacting surfaces and the force required to maintain sliding motion. These measurements help manufacturers evaluate surface characteristics that influence handling, printing, converting, packaging, feeding, stacking, and transportation performance.

Testing is commonly performed on paper, paperboard, coated paper, packaging board, carton materials, label stock, and specialty paper products. Cell Instruments provides standardized testing equipment and customized testing solutions for paper and board friction evaluation. Depending on laboratory requirements, users may choose dedicated coefficient of friction testers or multi-functional universal testing systems equipped with specialized COF fixtures.
