JIS K7125 Test for Static and Kinetic Friction Coefficients of Plastic Film and Coating

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of JIS K7125 testing. This standard specifies a method for determining the initial and sliding friction coefficients of plastic films and sheets when sliding on the same or other materials.

This international standard specifies a method for determining the starting and sliding friction coefficients when plastic film and sheet slides on itself or other materials. The method is intended to be used for non-adhesive plastic film and sheets up to about 0,5 mm thick.

This test method primarily serves quality control. Other effects, eg. electrostatic charges, air cushioning, local temperature rise and wear as a rule.

The determination of the static and dynamic coefficient of friction is of particular interest for films further processed in packaging and printing machines. Coefficients of friction provide information about machinability and surface structure, which are important for determining the printability of the material.

The static and dynamic coefficient of friction for flexible films can be easily measured on a static testing machine with an additional fixture. This standard test is defined in many standards.
