Friction Materials
Material selection for friction materials
CNSL and DCNSL feedstocks for resin development and friction-material formulation, with grade and conversion requirements agreed before supply.
Clarify whether the requirement is a raw phenolic feedstock or a processed resin component. CNSL-derived materials must be selected for the intended conversion and formulation route. Agree composition, viscosity or other relevant limits, then evaluate within the complete friction system.

Confirm the evidence before ordering
Grade, origin and certification are confirmed for each proposed source. A vegetable-derived feedstock is not automatically certified sustainable, pharmaceutical grade or suitable for every application; request the evidence needed for your intended use.
Product illustrations show representative material and packaging. The quotation confirms the actual source, grade, pack size and labelling.
