Friction Material & Formulation Expertise

Based on market, vehicle model, and performance requirements
Co-develop the Friction Material

Once the FMSI, OE specifications, product dimensions, and application conditions are confirmed, we evaluate various options based on braking performance, noise levels, dust generation, wear resistance, ride comfort, and the requirements of the target market. These options are then tested and refined through sample development and rigorous testing.
