FTL135.2 DNL-GL approved is a rigid moulded, resin based material, containing non-asbestos mineral fibres in a random dispersion with selected friction modifiers.

It has a medium coefficient of friction, low sensitivity to pressure with a good resistance to fade and wear.

Applications

  • FTL135.2 is suitable for medium speed industrial
  • Industrial drum and band-brakes.
  • Disc Brake pad for wind turbines.
  • Crane and excavator brake and clutch linings.
  • Miscellaneous industrial devices.

Engineering capability backed by controlled manufacture and inspection

Case example: connecting engineering, material and manufacture.

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.”

The SDTS example demonstrates linked engineering, material and manufacturing support.

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.
