Product referenceFTL123 Dynamic friction coefficient0.35µ Static friction coefficient0.32µ Material formFlexible Material typeOrganic Running conditionDry FTL123 is a non-asbestos friction material. It is a flexible, semi-cured, moulded product and is manufactured from a variety of mineral fibres and other non-metallic substances in random dispersion. FTL123 has a marginally lower friction coefficient when compared with FTL132 but has been developed to retain its excellent friction stability and wear resistant properties. This material ground on both surfaces during manufacture and is therefore suitable for bonding on either side. As supplied, FTL123 is sufficiently flexible to make fitting to curved metal parts a relatively simple operation, after which the heat generated in service will increase its strength and stiffness. Alternatively, FTL123 can be heat treated in an oven at a temperature of between 200 & 230 °C for a period of not less than 60 minutes, either before or after fitting. If supplied in the fully heat treated form (fully cured) it is known by the reference FTL124 FTL123 is not suitable for operating in oil. Applications

How to read an FTL data sheet
A technical data sheet describes how a material behaved under the test conditions stated in the document. It is a starting point for selection, not a guarantee of performance in every application.
Suitability depends on the complete application: component design, mating surface, temperature, load, speed, contamination and the required validation route. Treat a single coefficient as a guide, not a universal value.
What a data sheet contains
- Material reference, family and form
- Document revision and review date
- Friction behaviour: dynamic and static coefficient, ranges and sensitivities, with the stated test conditions
- Operating guidance: pressure, speed, temperature, mating surface
- Physical and processing properties, where approved
What it cannot confirm on its own
- Suitability for your complete application
- Guaranteed braking, holding, wear or service life
- Performance in conditions that were not tested
- Stock, price or lead time
The next step is to compare the published data against your real component and operating environment with FTL's engineering team.
Safety and handling documents
Where a current safety document (HSDS) is available for a material, it appears beside the technical data sheet. Always use the latest revision and follow the workplace, customer and regulatory controls for how the material is stored, machined, processed or handled.
If no safety document is shown, that does not mean no handling controls apply. Contact FTL to confirm what is available.
Need help choosing a material?
