Abstract
The present invention relates to the process of making a non-asbestos friction material comprising a phenolic or phenolic-modified resin (and in certain embodiments, silicon nitride particles) incorporated into a fibrous base material which is then impregnated with a silicone resin. The friction material is prepared by mixing the phenolic or phenolic-modified resin (and, in certain embodiments, silicon nitride particles) into an aqueous paper formulation, forming a porous fibrous base material, impregnating the fibrous base material with a silicone resin, and heating the impregnated material to cure the phenolic resin and the silicone resin.
