Advanced Friction Materials 

ENHANCE PERFORMANCE WITH ADVANCED FRICTION MATERIALS

Altra engineers have developed a proprietary NON-STICK friction material specifically designed for cold room and outdoor environments with high moisture levels and wide temperature differentials.

Most standard friction materials tend to get sticky and loose their effectiveness in these cold, harsh conditions.

Altra’s new friction material has proven to retain stable torque in between static parking and high energy service and emergency stopping during rigorous climate chamber testing, endurance testing, and field testing.

A high performance grade friction material is also offered for more challenging applications.
