To improve the barrier, anti-slip properties and other performance characteristics of packaging paper and paperboard, its surface is covered with various additional coatings. A thin anti-slip friction coating applied on paper or paperboard yields a several times higher static friction coefficient, which enables to significantly increase the possibilities of the use of the material of such packages. The characteristics of abrasive wear resistance of those materials are important when surfaces covered with a friction coating contact during their use or when they are mutually displaced. Tests of wear resistance of paper with a friction coating were performed using a wear simulation device and standard paper abrasive discs. The analysis of damaged surfaces was done using SEM.
