What is the Coefficient of Friction?

What is Coefficient of friction in the Concrete Polishing industry? Coefficient of friction (COF), tests the slip resistance to accidents on different types of industrial, commercial and residential floor surfaces. Slip resistance is good for building owners , business owners and residential owners to prevent slips and falls on different polished surfaces . When flooring is properly installed and cleaned , the concrete floor will result in a safe surface for traffic on both wet and dry conditions. The two types of coefficient of friction are known as static and dynamic. When measuring friction from a resting position, it is called static coefficient of friction (SCOF). And the measurement of relative motion is called dynamic coefficient of friction (DCOF). The measurements will discover the propensity for accidents on flooring in wet and dry conditions. But the most important is to test the flooring when in wet conditions with water or a lubricant because majorit
