Labthink Achieved Great Success Again At Propak Asia 2026 Labthink participated Propak Asia again from June 10 to June 13, 2026, and achieved great success. We exhibited ourlatest permeability testers and physical testers. Especially our latest new combo series, which has attracted the big attention and interest of customers again. It is a significant advancement and reform in the history of permeability testing. The success of Propak Asia 2026 continues to resonate across the industry. Bringing together more than 1500 exhibitors and more than 50 thousands of industry professionals, the 4-day event showcased cutting-edge technology, sustainable solutions, and vital discussions signposting the future of packaging. Furthermore, during the exhibition we jointly held the barrier seminar again with our Thailand dealer, INTRO, with the topic “How To Avoid Barrier Testing Discrepancies In Barrier Testing”, which successfully attracted the attention of lots of barrier users.

Labthink Showcases Testing Expertise at Sustainability in Packaging Asia 2026 Labthink recently took part in *Sustainability in Packaging Asia 2026*, held in Singapore on June 3–4. The region’s premier sustainable packaging conference brought together over 200 professionals across the packaging value chain. Labthink presented its targeted testing portfolio for package and package materials. Its team held in-depth discussions with attendees on aligning sustainability goals with packaging safety, durability and regulatory compliance. Labthink representatives also joined industry round tables and networking sessions to capture insights into Asia’s evolving sustainable packaging landscape. A company spokesperson noted the event served as a high-value platform for collaboration, and Labthink remains committed to delivering science-backed solutions to advance circular packaging development across the region.

Film Coefficient of Friction (COF) testing Film Coefficient of Friction (COF) testing measures the "slide and grip" properties of a material. It is critical for flexible packaging manufacturing. Testing ensures plastic films move smoothly through high-speed packaging machines, preventing production line jams, seal failures, and material waste. Key Reasons COF Testing is Vital Ensures Machinability: High-speed packaging lines rely on films sliding easily. If the COF is too low, the film slips and misaligns. If it is too high, the film drags, causes squealing, and can cause machinery to jam or tear the film. Improves Product Consistency: Testing helps manufacturers maintain uniform surface characteristics across different production batches. It verifies that supplier claims meet actual performance standards. Prevents Stacking and Blocking: Films with high COF tend to stick to themselves and to other materials, causing bags to clump or preventing proper opening and filling during production. Maintains Pallet Stability: Optimal COF provides enough grip so that finished, stacked packages do not slide off pallets during transportation and warehousing. Aids Formulation Adjustments: Packaging films frequently rely on additives to achieve target slip. COF testing enables manufacturers to precisely tune additive blends, controlling surface treatments and preventing issues like ink or adhesive transfer. Types of COF Measured Static COF: The initial resistance to movement. It measures the force required to break a stationary film loose before it starts sliding. Kinetic COF: The resistance to continuous movement. It measures the force required to keep the film sliding at a constant speed. For reliable results, testing should be conducted under controlled environmental conditions (temperature and humidity) referencing standards like ASTM D1894 or ISO 8295.
