FTL135.1 rigid organic friction material
FTL135.1 is a rigid moulded non asbestos material, which incorporates a blend of selected friction modifying agents, together with a specially developed binder system. It also includes a proportion of steel filaments in random dispersion
Published values are a starting point. Selection depends on the complete application.

As published by FTL.
FTL135.1 is a rigid moulded non asbestos material, which incorporates a blend of selected friction modifying agents, together with a specially developed binder system. It also includes a proportion of steel filaments in random dispersion
FTL135.1 has been produced with the specific aim of presenting good static frictional characteristics, whilst displaying a high stable dynamic coefficient. Good resistance to both fade and wear have also been achieved and the material is suitable for use at medium and heavy duty levels.
Although FTL135.1 is not affected physically by slight oil contamination, it is not suitable for use immersed in oil.
Applications
- Industrial disc brakes.
- Disc brakes for off-highway equipment.
- 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.
