You may have to determine the coeffient by experiment. It is impossible to include every possible combination of materials.

This can build a "sled" and place one material flat along the bottom. A thirty pound sled is common. Pull this weight across a flat surface covered by the other material. Measure the amount of force required to initiate movement using a spring scale (like a fish scale). This force in pounds divided by the weight of the sled in pounds will equal the coefficient of static friction. To determine the dynamic coefficient of friction, measure the pounds required to keep the sled in motion. This will be somewhat less than the force required to start the sled in motion.


The coefficient for vinyl and nylon should be quite low.
