Abstract

[Object] To provide a friction material, which is manufactured by forming a non-asbestos-organic (NAO) friction material composition, used for a disc brake assembled in such as a passenger car, which does not degrade the inhibitory effect of rusting and prevents seizure due to corrosion even if the automotive while the parking brake in operation is left under a high humidity state for a long period of time. [Means to Resolve] A friction material, which is manufactured by forming the NAO friction material composition including a binder, a fiber base material, a friction modifier, a lubricant, a pH adjuster, and a filler, where the friction material composition contains 2-6 weight % of alkali metal salt and/or alkaline earth metal salt as the pH adjuster relative to the total amount of the friction material composition, 1-7 weight % of fibrillated organic fiber as the fiber base material relative to the total amount of the friction material composition, and 0-0.5 weight % of water-repelling component relative to the total amount of the friction material composition.

Dependent claims

A friction material, which is manufactured by forming a non-asbestos-organic (NAO) friction material composition, comprising a binder, a fiber base material, at least one friction modifier, a lubricant, a pH adjuster, and a filler, wherein

said friction material composition contains:
2-6 weight % of one kind or a combination of two or more kinds selected from a sodium carbonate, a potassium carbonate, a sodium bicarbonate, a potassium bicarbonate, and a calcium hydroxide as the pH adjuster relative to the total amount of the friction material composition,
1-7 weight % of an organic fiber that is fibrillated as the fiber base material relative to the total amount of the friction material composition,
3-8 weight % of at least one of metal sulfide lubricants and at least one of carbon type lubricants,
0.5-5 weight % of a porous inorganic particle having a sulfate ion absorbing function as at least one of the friction modifiers relative to the total amount of the friction material composition, where said porous inorganic particle is an activated carbon, and
0-0.5 weight % of a water-repelling component relative to the total amount of the friction material composition,
said metal sulfide lubricant includes 0.5-6 weight % of a zinc sulfide relative to the total amount of the friction material composition, and
said carbon type lubricant comprises at least one of an artificial graphite, a natural graphite, and a flaky graphite.
