Filed:

Jan 31, 1994

Appl. No.:

8/188936

Inventors:

Dennis A. Gaylor - Clover SC
Donald L. Burgoon - Gastonia NC

Assignee:

Performance Friction Corporation - Clover SC

International Classification:

B32B 2708
B32B 2742
B05D 302
C08J 514

US Classification:

428525

Abstract:

A coating for reducing brake pad noise is provided that includes about 40 to about 90% by weight of a phenolic thermosetting resin, about 1 to about 40% by weight of graphite, about 1 to about 40% by weight of molybdenum disulfide, and, 0 to about 40% by weight of fillers and pigments. The coating is applied to a brake pad and cured. A method for reducing brake noise is also provided which includes the steps of coating a brake pad surface with a coating including about 40 to about 90% by weight of a phenolic thermosetting resin, about 1 to about 40% by weight of graphite, about 1 to about 40% by weight of molybdenum disulfide, and 0 to about 40% by weight of fillers and pigments, and curing the coating. A method of coating a brake pad with a flame resistant brake pad coating is provided which includes the steps of electrostatic powder coating a surface of a brake pad with a coating which includes about 40 to 100% by weight of a phenolic thermosetting resin, about 0 to about 40% by weight of graphite, about 0 to about 40% by weight of molybdenum disulfide, and, 0 to about 40% by weight of fillers and pigments, and then curing the coating.
