Enhanced Mechanical Properties
Aramid pulp has a high degree of fibrillation, allowing it to form a robust network structure within brake pad materials. This significantly improves the mechanical properties of brake pads.
Stable Friction Coefficient
Brake pads made with aramid pulp maintain a relatively stable friction coefficient across varying temperature ranges, ensuring reliable braking performance under different working conditions.
Reduction of Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH)
Aramid pulp contributes to significant reductions in noise, vibration, and harshness, thus enhancing driving comfort.
Eco-Friendly Asbestos Substitute
- Aramid pulp is an environmentally friendly alternative to asbestos, offering similar reinforcement properties with only 5% or less material usage.
- Brake pads reinforced with aramid pulp achieve strength equivalent to those containing 50%–60% asbestos fibers, avoiding the associated health hazards and environmental risks of asbestos.
