The Marathon Advantage... Feel the Difference Brake Lining One of the most significant design characteristics of any heavy duty brake lining is its density. When higher quality and heavier Hi-Density Friction raw materials are used in a lining's formulation, it creates a higher ■ Higher density friction materials have the ability to hold Application mass in the block or stated another way, higher density. Truck more heat energy and therefore more efficiently brakes are designed to convert the energy of a moving vehicle into dissipate the heat heat energy. A higher density increases the lining's ability to ■ efficiently handle heat, and is the most critical component in a Higher density linings exhibit significantly better wear Guide friction material's fade, recovery and wear. characteristics, especially at higher temperatures ■ Higher density friction materials are more resistant to brake fade and water fade ■ Higher density friction materials have stronger structural integrity, making them less likely to crack in service, while riveting or due to rust jacking
