Friction Materials
Friction materials are the key component of brake devices. In the case of a disc brake, wheel rotation is
slowed by strongly clasping the metal disc rotor, which is connected to the wheel, with two disc pads
(friction material). In the case of a drum brake, wheel rotation is slowed by pushing the brake lining
(friction material) against the circular drum, which is connected to the wheel, from the inside. In other
words, the vehicle is slowed or stopped by the friction generated by the disc pads or disc lining.
Nisshinbo Group's friction materials achieve an excellent braking capability and a pleasant braking
sensation, as well as performance stability and durability under various conditions. They are widely used
in brake devices, including equipment for compact cars, ordinary passenger cars, sports cars, large
trucks, and buses.
