Phenolic Metallic Friction Material for Brakes

TF3027 is a phenolic treated, brass wire inserted cloth laminated under heat and pressure to a dense, strong composite. TF3027 provides good fade and wear resistance and may be machined using standard, industry accepted practices. Its high strength makes it suitable for gear and lug driven applications. Available in thicknesses from 1/8" to 3".
