Automotive: Break Pads
 
 

Fibretech's RS fibres are replacing conventional copper, brass, carbon steel and asbestos fibres in modern brake pad compounds. In addition, RS Stainless Steel fibres are now also added to increase

  • Durability of the friction mix
  • Thermal Conductivity
  • Corrosion Resistance (to prevent "rust-locking" )

These, and other RS fibres, such as Aluminium and Fecralloys, are available in Fibretech's Microtex range of brake pad fibres.

Unique benefits: 
  • RS Metallurgy
  • No impurities
  • Consistent Chemistry
  • Consistent Geometry
  • "As-cast" Ductility
  • Customising
  • Low cost
  • Increased Fibre Count
  • No impurities (Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, Antimony)
  • Lower fibre additions
  • Increased Thermal Conductivity
  • Predictable Performance
  • Predictable Performance
  • Less wear on other parts.
  • Optional "tailored" fibre-alloys.
  • Suits all models.
  • Increased Performance.

MICROTEX brake pad fibres are made to ISO 9002 standards, conform to current safety and environmental standards, and are supported by a full in-house Technical Support Team.

Other RS alloys can be manufactured on request to provide Brake Pad designers with infinite variations for optimising performance and cost objectives.
