Safer, More Cost-effective Engineered Friction Materials
Wollastonite is the next generation of engineered fibers for friction materials. Whether used as a reinforcing additive or as a partial/full replacement for asbestos, synthetic materials or chopped or milled glass fibers, wollastonite provides a range of benefits to friction formulations, including improved friction stability and improved pre-form strength. Wollastonite also minimizes noise, reduces or eliminates cracking, and lowers cost.
A safe, non-toxic, naturally occurring mineral, wollastonite also offers significant health advantages over asbestos in friction formulations.
Primary applications include OEM and after-market cars and trucks, heavy equipment, truck blocks, drum linings, disc pads, clutch facings and shims as well as friction papers.
