Carboleg GmbH, a leader in sustainable friction material solutions, has filed a patent application for an innovative manufacturing method that incorporates thermally treated mineral components. This development marks a significant step toward eco-friendly production processes in the friction material industry, addressing challenges related to cost and environmental impact.
Key Highlights:
- Innovative Method: Utilizes minerals like magnesium oxide, zirconium oxide/silicate, and chromium oxide, thermally pre-treated as refractory lining.
- Sustainability Focus: Reduces CO2 footprint by recycling mineral components and minimizing reliance on virgin resources.
- Cost-Effective: Offers an affordable solution without compromising product quality or performance.
- Industry Impact: Supports local feedstock use, decreasing dependency on imported materials.
- Event Showcase: Carboleg GmbH will discuss this innovation at Eurobrake/WMC 2025 in Barcelona.
The patented method involves integrating minerals exposed to high temperatures into friction material compositions. These minerals, previously used as refractory lining, enhance the environmental profile of the final product. According to Leonid Enov, the inventor at Carboleg GmbH, this approach is a game-changer. “By incorporating thermally pre-treated minerals, we can significantly improve the environmental profile of friction products while maintaining quality and performance,” Enov stated. He emphasized that the method is the simplest and most cost-effective way to reduce CO2 emissions immediately without altering existing formulations.
This innovation also promotes recycling and the reuse of mineral components, aligning with global sustainability goals. By leveraging local feedstock, Carboleg GmbH reduces the industry’s reliance on imported virgin resources, further lowering costs and environmental impact. The company’s breakthrough is poised to set a new standard in friction material manufacturing, offering a scalable solution for producers worldwide.
Carboleg GmbH invites industry partners, customers, and stakeholders to explore this advancement at its booth during Eurobrake/WMC 2025 in Barcelona. The event will provide a platform to discuss collaboration opportunities and the practical applications of this pioneering technology.
