Take a piece of FRP put a gear on it... lift it up on one end and record the angle at which the gear begins to slide. The tangent of that angle is the STATIC friction coefficient. That can be compared to other static coefficients. The static coefficient of friction is always greater than the kinetic coefficient of friction. Remember that these coefficients are based on two materials....so there is no "Coefficient of Friction" for FRP.... it would have to be FRP and carpet, or FRP and wood or something...

good luck!!

If anyone actually does this for both FRP and the orange peel HDPE I would be interested in seeing what that number is.
