Thermofiber 2025
Thermofiber 2025 is a special woven material that was designed to work at high temperatures and low wear. TF2025 is based on TF2020 and has been reinforced with extra copper to increase friction performance: better heat dissipation provides stable friction even at higher temperatures.
