Thermofiber 4800
Thermofiber 4800 is a rigid molded friction material, whose main characteristic is a very low dynamic friction coefficient. It is composed basically of resins as a link system with frictional modifier agents, This material has good mechanical properties. It is a fully cured material and is suitable for both bonding and riveting.
