Thermofiber 1800
THERMOFIBER 1800 is a medium friction rigid molded asbestos-free brake lining for industrial brake applications.
THERMOFIBER 1800 is recommended for medium and heavy duty applications. It has exceptional thermal stability maintaining its friction level throughout the range of operating temperatures.
THERMOFIBER 1800 features a high-fiber, high-tensile material with molded teeth, along with proprietary fiber alignment technology to enhance heat dissipation and polish mating surfaces.
