{ "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "What is a Coefficient of Friction (COF) Tester?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "A Coefficient of Friction (COF) Tester is a laboratory instrument used to measure static and kinetic friction between two material surfaces. It helps packaging manufacturers control slip properties to ensure smooth machine operation and stable product stacking." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What does the MXD-02 Coefficient of Friction Tester measure?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "The MXD-02 COF Tester measures static COF, which is the force required to initiate sliding, and kinetic COF, which is the force required to maintain sliding. It is widely used for plastic films, laminates, paper, rubber, and flexible packaging materials." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How does the MXD-02 COF Tester work?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "The MXD-02 operates using the horizontal plane method. A weighted sled is placed on the test material and pulled at a constant speed. The instrument records maximum and average force values to calculate static and kinetic coefficients of friction automatically." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What is the C620H Friction & Peel Tester used for?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "The C620H Friction & Peel Tester performs both coefficient of friction testing and peel strength testing. It evaluates slip characteristics and seal integrity in flexible packaging materials." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What is the difference between MXD-02 and C620H?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "The MXD-02 is dedicated to measuring static and kinetic coefficient of friction of packaging materials. The C620H performs both friction testing and peel strength testing, making it suitable for evaluating slip properties and seal strength in laminated and heat-sealed packaging structures." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Which international standards do MXD-02 and C620H comply with?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Both MXD-02 and C620H comply with international standards such as ASTM D1894, ISO 8295, TAPPI T815, and TAPPI T816, ensuring accurate and globally accepted test results." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Why is friction testing important in packaging?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Friction testing prevents machine jamming, improves packaging line efficiency, and ensures stable stacking during storage and transport. Proper COF levels reduce production downtime and packaging defects." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Why is peel strength testing important?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Peel strength testing ensures proper heat seal strength and lamination bond integrity. It helps prevent delamination, leakage, and seal failure in food and pharmaceutical packaging." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What industries use MXD-02 and C620H testers?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "These testers are widely used in flexible packaging, plastic film manufacturing, pharmaceutical packaging, FMCG packaging, food packaging laboratories, and quality control and R&D facilities." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Why choose Flexitest for COF and Peel Testing Equipment?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Flexitest supplies genuine Labthink testing instruments with installation support, NABL-traceable calibration, application consultation, and a PAN-India service network to ensure reliable and standards-compliant testing performance." } } ] }
