ASTM D2534 Standard Test Method for Coefficient of Kinetic Friction for Wax Coatings
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the coefficient of kinetic friction for a petroleum wax coating or wax-based hot melt coating when sliding over itself.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

3. Terminology
3.1 Definitions:
3.1.1 friction, n - the resistance to sliding exhibited by two surfaces in contact with each other. Basically there are two frictional properties exhibited by any surface; static friction and kinetic friction.
3.1.2 kinetic friction, n - the force that resists motion when a surface is moving with a uniform velocity; it is, therefore, equal and opposite to the force required to maintain sliding of the surface with a uniform velocity.
