5th October 2006 - Wolverine Advanced Materials First-to-Market with a Faster, Cost-Saving Brake Insulator Development Process
| • | Cuts Development Time and Costs by up to 50 % |
| • | Process to be Presented at SAE Brake Colloquium |
| Wolverine Advanced Materials (WAM), a leading global supplier of insulator formulation technology, today announced a first-to-market, Automotive Brake Insulator Development process that reduces development time and costs by as much as 50%. |  |
The New Brake Insulator Development process will be presented at the SAE Brake Colloquium on October 11, 2006 in Grapevine , Texas by Dr. Christopher Griffen, Director - noise vibration and harshness (NVH) application development, Wolverine Advanced Materials.
“Our five phase approach uses both predictive and experimental techniques, which no other supplier can offer,” says Dr. Griffen. “Successful execution of the process is enabled through our NVH expertise and product depth, plus an extensive quantitative brake shim database from which to draw.”
The exclusive Wolverine Advanced Materials predictive modeling brake insulator development process includes design and solution-checks at three different levels; component, insulator material, and system.
WAM is the global product line leader in integrally-bonded insulator coating technology. The Company has developed more than 400 material grades and 65 composite insulator products as well as predictive and virtual prototyping tools which provide the basis for this new predictive modeling system.
