Abstract

The addition of aramid polymer pulp fiber to non-asbestos type friction material compositions results in a marked improvement in the flexural strength and structural integrity of preforms used in the manufacture of friction elements. The consequent handling characteristics of the preform lead to significant improvements in ease of manufacturing of the friction element.
