Carlisle’s WT56 friction
material has been formulated to handle the high heat found in multiple
stop & heavy load braking common in transit and other vocational
applications. This high resistance to heat allows WT56 to provide
positive stopping performance throughout the brake’s entire duty cycle.
Federal regulations for brake recovery, fade, and effectiveness outlined
in the F.M.V.S.S. #121 inertia dynamometer test procedure are easily met
by WT56. This friction material offers a unique combination of stopping
power, long lining life and excellent drum compatibility.
