Compo C/BB/K brake block is a rigid moulded friction material, grey-black in colour, having a random fibre asbestos base and containing metallic particles. It is manufactured only in the form of brake blocks, integrally moulded to a back plate. This material was originally developed to have the ability to withstand the heavy braking demands of Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) stock, operating suburban passenger services. Its use has since been extended to a range of duties from low speed shunting locomotives to high speed passenger trains.

HCL manufactures rigid moulded and woven friction sheets with and without wire reinforcement or metallic inclusions. These are used as segments in industrial clutches, marine gearbox clutches, tractor steering clutches, power press clutches, industrial brakes and other general engineering requirements in shipping, mining, port related and other industries.

Industrial woven and flexible roll linings with and without wire reinforcement in various thickness and lengths are another speciality of HCL. Their applications are in segments or as band brakes in elevators, cranes, winches, hoists, drop hammers, concrete mixers, heavy earth moving equipment and in dry and oil immersed conditions.

This is a versatile thermal insulation and heat resistant material produced in sheet form using good quality fibres incombustible fillers and vegetable binders. It dose not suffer loss of strength upto 485°C. When suitably supported the board can be used satisfactorily at extreme temperatures upto approx. 1400°C.

The heat resistant discs are made from materials containing a higher percentage and a small quantity of organic binder, to withstand the application temperature exceeding 1000C.

 Service

Recommended for making up a solid block of supporting internal and external rollers in steel & glass plants. The discs possess adequate physical strength to withstand the machining operations to achieve a mirror finish.

Compestos

Asbestos laminated sheets are moulded from asbestos cloth with thermosetting resins and are specially developed for engineering applications. The high content of asbestos, superior grade of binder and special press-curing techniques impart high degree of mechanical strength. These materials are hard wearing, heat resistant and unaffected by a wide range of chemicals and solvents.

 Special Characteristics

Compestos  materials do not require specials lubricants. They are compatible with water emulsions, many chemicals and normal lubricating oils, grease, compounds, molybdenum di-sulphide paste etc.

Compestos materials are characterised by the following outstanding properties

Excellent dimensional stability

Good wear and chemical resistance

Low moisture absorption

Very high strength to weight ratio

High temperature resistance

High impact resistance

Excellent irradiation characteristics

Impervious to effects of moisture of marine exposure
