General information

Short Summary
A company is searching for producers or distributors of friction materail for wet applications able to work in ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid).
Full Description
The Polish company sells parts for automatic clutch applications worldwide.

The company is looking for a supplier of friction material:
- asbestos free, organic friction lining with high carbon and aramid content exhibiting high thermal stability. Material characteristic of sound porosity and resiliency allowing an efficient oil flow within the materials to improve heat dissipation favorable for high performance applications.
- friction lining in oil immersed applications, especially for differentials, clutches with high unit loads or high power demands. The lining can be specified for automatic clutch applications.

Product specifications:
- two types: one Kevlar reinforced and the other Carbon reinforced
- sheet of minimum 400 x 400 mm and maximum 700 x 700, the 700 x 700 most preferable
- thickness of the material: 1.10mm and 1.70mm
- company would like to source friction material manufactured by BorgWarner, type 6910.
- Sonnax is distributing friction material called HTE, HTL and HTS
