A named example of FTL improving an existing friction material for a safety product.
From an existing material to two FTL grades
Globestock Safety manufactures safety fall arrestors. The friction material in them needed to perform better.
FTL took on the existing friction material and now supplies the discs in two of its own grades: FTL163GR for the two larger discs and FTL179 for the two smaller discs. Both are used in Globestock Safety's fall arrestors, and the customer describes FTL as a long-term partner in the manufacture of its safety products.
