From June 17 to 19, Frasle Mobility will participate at EuroBrake Congress in Germany, one of the world’s leading technical events for the braking industry. Representatives from the company’s engineering and product development team will present one of their research and innovation projects focused on decarbonization.
During the technical session of scientific paper presentations, the study on the use of inorganic binder in railway brake shoes as a replacement for phenolic resin—a significant component in the carbon generation within the friction materials production chain—will be detailed. The research led to changes in the manufacturing process and product formulation, which has been in the market since 2023.
The substitution has resulted in a significant reduction in carbon emissions, as the petroleum-derived resin was eliminated from the formulation, and a production process with lower energy consumption was developed. “As a result of our work, we were able to reduce the product’s carbon footprint by 43%. With the success of the study, which resulted in a relevant technological patent for the company and which we are presenting for the first time at a global event, we are already working on expanding the decarbonization to other products and manufacturing processes,” highlighted Alexandre Casaril, Director of Engineering and OEM Sales.
