Ceramic materials are more commonly known for their use as clutch buttons which are fitted to a number of clutches for applications such as performance automotives, heavy duty trucks & agricultural tractors etc. The ceramic friction material acts as an insulator by reflecting heat away from its surface. The following are properties that are associated with this type of material:
- High durability
- Good wear resistance
- Long life
| Parameter | Wet Application | Dry Application |
| Dynamic Coefficient (μd) | >= 0.35 | N/A |
| Static Coefficient (μs) | >= 0.45 | N/A |
| Wear Rate (λ) | <= 2.0x10-8cm3/J | N/A |
| Conditions of Application | Specific Pressure: <= 4MPa Linear Velocity: <= 30m/s | N/A |
