  • the white-to-translucent solid polymer has an extremely high molecular weight, i.e., in the 10 6 -10 7 range, and, consequently, has a viscosity of about 10 GPa»s (10 11 P) at 380°C.
  • Its high thermal stability results from the strong carbon-fluorine bond and characterizes PTFE as a very useful high temperature polymer.
  • Its heat resistance, chemical inertness, electrical insulation properties, and its low coefficient of friction in a very wide temperature range make PTFE the most outstanding plastic in the industry.
  • PTFE is readily commercially available from Honeywell, Inc.

  • Example II a typical formulation of a friction material matrix containing at least one fluoropolymer material, in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, is presented in Example II, below:
  • the friction materials containing at least one fluoropolymer material of the present invention reduce the tendency for brakes to generate noise (as well as vibration) by ensuring, for example, that a thin and uniform transfer film is continuously being generated at the friction couple between the brake pad and the rotor or drum.
  • a comparison test was performed.
  • a first pair of brake pads having a friction lining formulation containing no fluoropolymer material (designated HFM-1) was subjected to a dynamometer test in order to evaluate the total noise produced at various frequencies (see Figure 1).
  • the total noise of the HFM-1 formulation was significantly higher than the HFM-2 formulation, thus indicating that brake pads containing at least one fluoropolymer material in accordance with the present invention will produce less noise, especially less high frequency noise (i.e., squeal). Also noteworthy was the fact that the HFM-2 formulation did not produce any noise whatsoever above the 4000 Hz frequency.
