Para-aramid fibers are used in dry and wet friction materials.

Dry Friction

In disc pads, drum brake linings para-aramid fibers
 • Reduce noise, vibration and harshness (NVH)
 • Stop separation after mixing
 • Improve strength of preforms
 • Provide dimensional stability to preforms
 • Improve strength of the final products and stop cracks
 • Reduce wear of friction materials
 • Work polishing and are not aggressive to the metal sliding surface
In clutch facings para-aramid fibers
 • Improve strength and burst strength of the clutch facing
 • Provide dimensional stability
 • Improve driving comfort by reducing vibrations and judder
 • Work polishing and reduce wear.

Wet Friction

For friction papers used inside automatic gearboxes all ingredients are dispersed in water.  The advantages of para-aramid fibers are here that.
 • They easily disperse in water
 • They have the required chemical and thermal stability
 • They improve the strength of the final products and stop crack
 • Reduce wear of friction materials
 • Work polishing and are not aggressive to the metal sliding surface.
