A friction material composition comprising (a) a fibrous material, (b) a binder containing a liquid rubber and (c) a friction regulator containing cashew dust is produced by coating the cashew dust with the liquid rubber, adding the fibrous material, remaining binder other than the liquid rubber and remaining friction regulator other than the cashew dust to the cashew dust coated with the liquid rubber, and then mixing.

Friction material composition, production of the same and friction material

A disc brake pad obtained by using a composition comprising a fibrous base material except for asbestos, a binder and a friction adjusting agent, wherein a silicone modified resin is contained as a part or whole of the binder and zeolite is contained as a part of the friction adjusting agent can prevent a transfer film from contacting with water or remove the water once adsorbed in the transfer film and can lower the sound pressure of creep groan.

Non-asbestos disc brake pad for automobiles

A clutch driven plate comprising a clutch facing plate molded from a clutch facing material comprising a fiber, a binder, and a friction modifier and a back-up plate carrying the clutch facing plate, wherein a number of dimples are formed on the surface of the clutch facing plate. The clutch driven plate is obtainable by thermo-compression molding a back-up plate and a clutch facing material comprising a fiber, a binder, and a friction modifier to integrate the plate and clutch facing material into one body.
