| 摘要 |
The present invention provides non-asbestos-based friction materials for brakes, clutches or the like for automobiles, large-size trucks, railway cars and various industrial machines, characterized in that it causes no cancer or pneumoconiosis (in particular silicosis) in humans, has excellent friction and rust-proof performance and a lower tendency of counter surface attack. The non-asbestos-based friction materials are made by molding and curing a composition comprising, as the major components, a fibrous base, binder and filler, wherein the fibrous base has a length of 5 mum or more and diameter of 3 mum or less; is free of inorganic fibers having an aspect ratio (fiber length/fiber diameter) of above 3; and contains chopped strands of amorphous silica, 1 mm or more but less than 3 mm long and 6 mum or more but less than 10 mum in diameter.
