Moulded Materials

Industrial Friction Materials Ltd supplies a large variety of moulded friction materials with coefficients of friction ranging from 0.15 to 0.59.

Moulded rolls are made from a blend of ingredients including thermosetting resins, reinforcing fibres, rubber particles and friction modifiers. The mix is prepared in a pasty consistency and then roll formed in a unique process. The materials are then semi -cured so that they can be formed to fit shoes, bands, etc. The products can be finish cured in an oven or they will service cure in their applications. These moulded rolls cover most of the light and medium duty dry friction applications.

Moulded sheets are made from a blend of dry ingredients including thermosetting resins, reinforcing fibres and friction modifiers. The materials are moulded under heat and pressure to provide excellent performance in the type applications they are intended for. Generally these moulded sheets have the highest strength, the best high temperature performance and the most durability of the conventional friction material line.
