Abstract
Abstract A friction material comprising 40 to 95% by volume of a granular material and a thermoset binder resin for binding said granular material, said granular material having been produced by binding at least one powder material with a binder resin so that at least 50% by weight of the granules has a particle size between 140 mesh on and 7 mesh pass, which has good fade resistance and wear resistance.
