ISO 8295 COF Plastics Film and Sheeting test Machine (Fixture)

ISO 8295:1995–Plastics — Film and sheeting — Determination of the coefficients of friction

This standard was last reviewed and confirmed in 2015. Therefore this version remains current.

A COF fixture is installed on a tensile machine, and the test is done.

Specifies a method for determining the coefficients of starting and sliding friction of plastics film and sheeting when sliding over the same or other substances. Serves primarily for quality control and does not give a comprehensive assessment of the machinability.

• For plastic film and sheeting: ISO 8295, ASTM D1894

• For paper and board: ISO 15359, TAPPI T549
