Industrial woven and flexible roll brake linings with wire reinforcement are available in various thickness and lengths. Industrial Brake liner Feroda Compo Type WA8, flexible, roll lining, solid woven is asbestos based with brass wire content. Flexible Roll Brake lining COMPO WA 8 solid woven, asbestos based friction material made from asbestos yarn, spun around brass wire, which contributes considerably to its strength. WA-8 has a medium/high co-efficient of friction combined with moderate temperature and wear resistance. WA-8 is available in Roll form. Segments, Cones and special shapes can easily be cut from it. Being a flexible material, it is possible to form it to radius when fitting it. Forming can be made easier by placing the material in an oven at a temperature of not more than100°C (212°F) until it has heated throughout to soften the impregnant. WA-8 is designed solely for use under dry conditions (i.e. it is not suitable for use in oil). WA-8 can also be supplied with both surfaces ground.
