Twaron is the material of choice for friction manufacturers around the globe
Twaron pulp and shortcut improve the performance of brake pads and linings as well as clutch facing, prolong product lifetimes, and increase driver comfort. In terms of comfort in particular Twaron pulp makes a major contribution to reducing noise, vibrations and harshness (NHV).
It’s these unique properties that make Twaron pulp the material of choice for friction manufacturers around the globe. As brake dimensions are getting smaller, the performance of the materials used needs to be further enhanced – another strong argument for using Twaron. At Teijin Aramid we’re continually developing advanced solutions that will meet both today’s and tomorrow’s needs.
Key benefits when using Twaron
· Reduced noise, judder and vibrations
· Lower wear
· Smooth, polishing effect
· Less corrosion
· Improved strength
· Improved stability of edges
· Prevents cracks forming in pads
A wide range of applications
Friction materials containing Twaron are used in brake pads and linings as well as in clutch facings in private cars, buses, commercial vehicles and heavy goods vehicles. They are also used in trains, trams, and subways, and in motorbikes, bicycles and three-wheelers. In addition, there are numerous industrial applications including elevators, cranes, and various other systems.
