NB1088 non-abrasive TFT brake linings from NeoBrake deliver unprecedented service life and maintenance savings, typically doubling the life of traditional linings.
Non-abrasive linings use Transfer Film Technology (TFT) to create friction with the drum through a chemical process. Instead of abrasives digging into the drum wall to slow the vehicle, NB1088 blocks bleed a special chemical that coats each surface and friction occurs at molecular level. In layman’s terms, it works like a bonding agent.
As a result, linings and drums wear dramatically longer. Less heat is generated, of course, and the benefits multiply exponentially from there. Tires wear longer. Bearings work longer. And wheel seals love the overtime.
NB1088s have tripled the life of previous brakes on garbage trucks. They’ve eliminated annoying squeals. And when paired with Matrix NeoCast cores offer the longest wearing and sustained maximum torque power available today in foundation brakes.
