This standalone instrument is designed for simple QA testing of static and dynamic COF. The instrument is preloaded with ISO/ASTM/friction test methods with the option to create a custom test. Included in the package are the attachments for performing peel, tear and seal strength tests.

Applications

The Universal Friction Tester (UFT) produces detailed fingerprints of new substrates, coatings and production samples. These characteristics can be saved and compared at any time allowing the manufacturer to specify the optimum surface finish for any packaging process.

Advantages:

• The sled is placed in exactly the same position each time the test is run.
• The user-defined dwell time controls the blocking effect of tackier films.
• Controlling the above ensures repeatable static COF results, independent of the operator.
