The information provided in this data sheet should be used for general guidance on the performance of this material. It does not represent the performance under all service or Dynamometer test conditions. The performance of this material may vary depending on the application in which it is used. Selection of this material for any application should only be made following discussion with the BECORIT Technical department following which Dynamometer testing to a specific duty cycle may be necessary prior to a final selection being made. Becorit GmbH cannot be held responsible for any errors arising in brake system design should a friction material selection be made on the basis of data sheet information alone.
