It first distributed brake linings and clutch facings under license of Ferodo UK.

Brake linings, brake pads, clutch facings, etc., consist essentially of three major components, i.e.

Clutch facings, too, are moulded, as are the grooves and holes in each facing, thereby eliminating the need to add these features through drilling or grinding operations.

Asbestos-containing automobile brake pads and linings, clutch facings, and gaskets should be repaired and replaced only by a professional using special protective equipment.

The LuK plant also manufactures clutch facings, an integral part of every clutch, that meet stringent durability and robustness requirements of the industry.

Impregnation is also used for the manufacture of clutch facings, whereby asbestos yarn is soaked in resin and wound onto a spindle prior to curing.

The second stage, which would occur in 1993, would affect 18 percent of products now used, including drum brake linings, transmission components, clutch facings and other friction products and gaskets.

Chrysotile is also used in friction products such as brake linings and clutch facings (7% of global uses) and in textiles, clothing and various other uses (3% of global uses).

WVA numbers are a reference and assignment system for brake linings, clutch facings, brake shoes and other friction materials which will especially be used in road vehicles but also in mechanical engineering.

Continued Use in Brakes The asbestos industry said today's ruling clears the way to continue using the material in automobile parts like brakes and clutch facings and in other products subjected to friction.

The cataloguing system used in North America, and recognized around the world, is the standardized part numbering system for brakes and clutch facings issued by the Friction Materials Standards Institute (FMSI).

Friction - ref Res 3 Powder resins in standard form both modified and unmodified for applications including dry mix processes for disc pads, post forming of drum brake linings and compression moulding of clutch facings and rail blocks.

In decreasing length, chrysotile has been used in textiles, clothing, packings, woven brake linings, clutch facings, electrical insulation materials, high-pressure and marine insulation, asbestos-cement pipe, other asbestos-cement products (e.g., sheets and mouldings, shingles, extrusions), gaskets, paper products, vinyl sheet backings, and millboards.
