Brake pads and friction materials

Modern friction materials often need to deliver multiple performance characteristics simultaneously. MagniF helps manufacturers meet these requirements while supporting efficient production and consistent product quality.

MagniF is a high-performance magnetite additive for brake pads and friction materials that improves friction stability, wear resistance, heat transfer, and overall braking performance.

It is used in friction materials, particularly brake pad formulations, where stable friction performance is essential. Its thermal conductivity supports friction stability, while its hardness contributes to improved wear resistance and durability.

As part of a carefully balanced brake pad formulation, MagniF also provides abrasive functionality and helps maintain consistent braking performance under demanding operating conditions.
