MIOX® in Brake Pads and Linings
Minerals like Iron Oxides and Wollastonites are common ingredients in friction materials formulations. Wollastonite provides best performance advantages when they have a high aspect ratio. MIOX® is mainly used as a mild abrasive in NAO or low metallic formulations due to its moderate hardness and excellent temperature stability. Its lamellar structure supports a stable coefficient of friction and is the biggest performance difference compared to commonly used granular iron oxide.
- Stable, moderately high coefficient of friction
- Increased heat transmission
- Reduction of wear
- Improved NVH behaviour
- Optimum shear strength and compressibility
- Cracking reduction
- Reduction of water absorption
- Good processability
