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 See the difference... higher density Marathon linings tip the scale vs. leading competitor 554 125 Old Mill Road • Cartersville, GA 30120 Call 800.223.5201 or visit CERTIFIED MarathonBrake.com Application Guide AHA 3M 12/10 ©2010 Marathon Brake Systems, Inc.
