FTL130 is a rigid moulded friction material, having a non-asbestos basis of synthetic fibres in random dispersion. It contains no metallic particles and is grey in colour
FTL130 is a low friction material with excellent wear resistance. It has been designed specifically for applications where a smooth and noise free operation is required.
Although not affected physically by minor oil contamination this material is unsuitable for operating under oil-immersed conditions.
Applications
- Industrial Brakes.
- Industrial Clutches.
- Miscellaneous industrial devices.

Engineering capability backed by controlled manufacture and inspection
SDTS approached FTL after the original aircraft brake pad was no longer available. FTL redesigned the pad, established a replacement material route and manufactured a component aligned with the stated aeronautical technical requirements, supporting SDTS's modification-certification process.
“To continue flying our aircraft, we approached FTL to find replacement solutions for our brake pad problem, as the original part was no longer available on the market. The quality of our discussions, from both a technical and commercial standpoint, FTL's responsiveness in redesigning the pad with a material that meets aeronautical technical requirements, and their ability to adapt to our aeronautical environment allowed us to certify a modification applicable to our aircraft. The quality of the manufactured product is remarkable. Thanks to FTL, we can continue to fly, land, and brake safely.”

Bring us the application, drawing or performance problem.
Tell Friction Technology what the component or friction system needs to do. A short initial brief is enough to start. The right technical and commercial people then join the conversation to understand the operating conditions, available information and required next step.
Optional drawing or specification upload. No long technical questionnaire at this stage.
