Thermofiber 3020
THERMOFIBER 3020 is a low kevlar laminate consisting of resin impregnated textile material with metallic and aramid components. GG – level friction is highly stable across all operating temperatures
THERMOFIBER 3020 is typically used for heavy-duty industrial press brake pads and for geared brake discs for industrial machinery.
AVAILABLE FORMS Gear Tooth Facings, Disc Brake Pads, Flat Sheets, Special Molded Pieces
