Friction Materials maximize brake torque.

Press Release Summary:




CCM(TM) materials, based on CM24(3)(TM) friction formulation concepts and material technology, minimize stopping distances and increase lining and drum life. Suited for severe or regular use, CM24(3)(TM) is FMVSS121 axle rated from 23,000-29,000 lb. Conformability characteristics, transfer film, and cohesive technology create controlled and conditioned brake surface interface. Metallic matrix facilitates heat transfer during braking for optimal wear.

New Friction Formulas Introduced by Brake Pro, Ltd.



Kennesaw, GA (February 7, 2005) Brake Pro, Ltd., the 3rd largest and fastest growing heavy-duty friction manufacturer in North America, has developed a new line of friction materials, the CCM(TM) line (conformable, cohesive, metallic) based on their successful and unique CM24(3)(TM) friction formulation concepts and material technology. The new CCM(TM) line of friction will generate higher brake torque providing shorter stopping distances with longer lining life, longer drum life, and quieter braking performance than any other friction materials today. The products within this line of friction are formulated to meet the exact requirements for ultra-long life brake block for specific brake applications. In numerous field tests the CCM(TM) friction materials outperform all other materials and provide sophisticated truck fleets with the industry's best value in friction material.

The CM24(3)(TM) formula from which the CCM(TM) products are derived is the industry's most advanced material using three unique formulation concepts in one material to provide at high-axle loadings, in severe or regular use, excellent brake torque output, quiet braking, and very good drum compatibility. CM24(3)(TM) is FMVSS121 axle rated from 23,000 to 29,000 lbs. It combines 1) unique conformability characteristics (lining beds in easily to drum), 2) transfer film, cohesive technology creating a controlled and conditioned brake surface interface, and 3) a metallic matrix, which allows for more heat transfer during braking and resultant better wear and more mileage.
