Friction materials - rubber and resin

Author :

Rubber is one of the main binders in friction materials. In the early years, pure resin friction plates were mostly used. However, due to the brittle and hard properties of resin, the material of friction plates is brittle and hard, with poor impact resistance. Through continuous testing and practical operation, rubber material materials can improve this performance. Therefore, nowadays friction plates are mostly mixed with resin and rubber, which can better balance the shortcomings between the two.

Resin based adhesives account for the vast majority of friction materials in terms of quantity and variety. Friction plates have a rigid texture and not only have a high low-temperature friction coefficient, but also have good friction coefficient and service life at high temperatures. They can work under high braking pressure and friction speed.

The friction material material with rubber as the main adhesive is relatively soft, mainly used for working conditions with low braking pressure, relative friction speed, and low working temperature.

Regardless of which type, as long as it is suitable, it is a good adhesive friction material, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, and also adapted to its own environment.
