FER4020
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Ferodo 4020 is a rigid moulded friction material; it is
charcoal grey in colour, and it has a basis of steel
filaments in a random dispersion. Selected friction
modifiers are combined with a specially developed
binder system to determine both the strength and the
frictional performance characteristics of the material.
Although not physically affected by slight
contamination, FER4020 is not suitable for use under
conditions of immersion in oil. FER4020 has a medium
to high coefficient of friction, and maintains its
performance at duty levels ranging from light to heavy;
it possesses good thermal stability and high-speed
frictional behaviour.
This material has been developed for service on disc
brakes for cars and vans for replacement market use;
it is particularly suitable for use performance and high
duty vehicles in the European market, where it passes
all relevant ECE R90 approval tests.
AVAILABILITY
Manufactured in the form of pads for disc brakes,
integrally moulded to steel backplates.
APPLICATION
Disc brakes for Light Vehicles of all energy ratings.
