❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the maximum temperature resistance of RMF-1020?
The fiber can withstand braking temperatures above 800°C, with a softening point exceeding 1550°C.
Q2: Can this mineral fiber replace asbestos?
Yes, it is designed specifically as an ideal asbestos-free replacement for friction applications like brake linings.
Q3: What are the benefits of using basalt fiber in brake pads?
It provides stable high-temperature properties, high tensile strength (800 MPa), low wear, and reduced noise levels.
Q4: What is the recommended dosage for brake pad manufacturing?
We recommend an addition amount of 5-15% for high-end NAO or semi-metallic brake pads.
Q5: How should the product be stored to maintain quality?
It should be kept in a cool, dry place. Any opened bags should be resealed immediately to prevent moisture penetration.
