TF2000 is our standard formulation, principally intended for automotive clutch applications. The glass fiber reinforcement yarn is spiral woven with a fine copper core to produce a strong material with excellent heat transfer characteristics and high burst resistance. TF2000 delivers medium-high friction with stable performance, smooth engagement, low wear rate, and long service life. Suitable for automobiles and trucks operating under normal conditions.
