GL181-177
GL181-177 is a high-performance, non-asbestos semi-cured molded friction material designed for applications requiring reliable stopping power, excellent stability, and long-lasting wear resistance. Engineered with a fabric-based phenolic formulation (Material 1177), this product delivers consistent friction characteristics across a range of operating conditions.
Supplied in a semi-cured state, GL181-177 offers the flexibility of post-forming, allowing it to be shaped into custom geometries or configurations before final curing. This makes it an ideal choice for manufacturers and engineers who need a friction material that can adapt to complex designs or specialized brake and clutch components.
