A method of making a wet friction material layer includes adding a media in liquid form to a material base including filler particles embedded in a matrix of fibers; drying the media to solidify the media on the filler particles such that the media plugs holes in the filler particles; adding a binder to the material base; and unplugging at least some of the holes in the filler particles by removing at least some of the media from the material base.

Wet friction material with coated filler particles

A friction material for a clutch pad, including a fiber material and a filler material. The fiber material includes a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface and a thickness between the first and second surfaces. The filler material includes tung oil and phenolic resin. The tung oil is saturated within the fiber material from the first surface through a first portion of the thickness, while the phenolic resin is saturated within the fiber material from the second surface through a second portion of the thickness.
