Performance, Control, and Durability

Friction materials are engineered to deliver controlled interaction between surfaces, whether generating friction for braking and clutch engagement or managing wear and heat in dynamic systems. Applications such as brake pads, clutch facings, and industrial friction components require precise material balance to ensure safety, consistency, and long-term performance.

Asbury Advanced Materials supplies a broad portfolio of carbon and graphite solutions designed to enhance friction product formulations. Our materials contribute to friction stability, heat management, wear resistance, and overall system performance across automotive, industrial, and specialty applications.

With expertise in raw material processing and formulation support, Asbury helps manufacturers develop friction systems that perform reliably under demanding conditions.

Solving Real-World Friction Product Problems for Over a Century

Friction material manufacturers face several key challenges:

  • Managing heat buildup during repeated or high-load use 
  • Controlling wear rates for both the friction material and mating surfaces 
  • Reducing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) 
  • Ensuring durability under extreme temperatures and pressures 
  • Achieving consistent performance across production batches

Key Use Cases for Carbon & Graphite
in Friction Products

Carbon and graphite materials play a critical role in friction system performance:

Friction Control and Stability

Graphite helps regulate the coefficient of friction, ensuring consistent and predictable performance across a range of operating conditions, including for brake pad friction materials.

Heat Management

Carbon materials dissipate heat generated during braking or engagement, helping prevent overheating and maintaining system performance.

Wear Reduction and Surface Protection

Graphite’s lubricating properties reduce wear on both the friction material and the opposing surface, extending component life.

Noise and Vibration Reduction

Carbon additives contribute to smoother engagement, helping reduce noise and vibration in braking and clutch systems.
