2. Brake lining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_lining

   The first asbestos brake linings were developed in 1908 by Herbert Frood. [1] Although Frood was the first to implement the use of asbestos brake linings, the heat dissipation properties of the fibres were tested by various scientists, including materials chemist Gwilym Price, who did most of his research and testing at Cambridge, United ...

3. Brake pad - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad

   Worn brake pads, contaminated brake fluid, faulty brake caliper, faulty master cylinder, loss of vacuum, loss of brake fluid Car pulls to one side when braking Faulty brake caliper, restriction in hydraulic system, brake pad lining(s) contaminated with oil or brake fluid, brake pads not replaced in pairs, brake pad not fitted correctly,

4. Drum brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_brake

   After the United States Federal Government began to regulate asbestos production, brake manufacturers had to switch to non-asbestos linings. Owners initially complained of poor braking with the replacements, but brake technology eventually advanced to compensate. A majority of daily-driven older vehicles have been fitted with asbestos-free linings.

5. Setralit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setralit

   The most important markets for brake linings are Europe, Japan and the United States, closely followed by emerging Asian economies India and China. Although the use of asbestos in friction linings has been prohibited in the EU since 1989, elevated asbestos levels are still detected there in areas which include a lot of braking like junctions ...

6. Kevlar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevlar

   Kevlar K-29 – in industrial applications, such as cables, asbestos replacement, tires, and brake linings. Kevlar K49 – high modulus used in cable and rope products. Kevlar K100 – colored version of Kevlar; Kevlar K119 – higher-elongation, flexible and more fatigue resistant; Kevlar K129 – higher tenacity for ballistic applications

7. Graphite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphite

   Natural amorphous and fine flake graphite are used in brake linings or brake shoes for heavier (nonautomotive) vehicles, and became important with the need to substitute for asbestos. This use has been important for quite some time, but nonasbestos organic (NAO) compositions are beginning to reduce graphite's market share.
