Liquid Binder Resins
These are thermosetting resins that are used to hold brake linings together.
Cashew based resins are perhaps the best of the modified phenolic types because they offer all of the desirable characteristics of
a straight phenolic (impact resistance, flexibility, thermal stability) without the oil bleeding.
This condition causes a decrease in the coefficient of friction.
Cardolite offers a wide range of liquid binder resins, including:
|
- High Viscosity
- Solvent Free
- Rubber Modified
|
- Low Viscosity
- Special Solvent Cuts

Friction Particles
Cashew based friction particle is used in disc pad brakes and drum linings. Friction particle (sometimes called friction dust)
is used as a stabilizing agent in brake products. These particles have a resilient nature which cushions the engaging property of
a piece of lining. Also, they decompose on the surface of a lining at various elevated temperature, controlling the wear, and offer
a protective device by prohibiting excessive temperature from being developed.
Cardolite friction particles are used in metallic, semi-metallic, asbestos and non asbestos brake products.
The variety of particle products Cardolite produces includes:
|
- 30,40,60 and 100 Mesh Brown
- 30 Mesh Black
|
- Rubber Modified
- Aluminum Oxide Filled
