Speical types of synthetic graphite provide good friction like a mild spring, which make it very suitable for brake pads. Modern brake pad formulations are a mix of many ingredients, which can be classified in 5 categories: fibers, fillers, friction modifiers, phenolic resin, steel wool and other metals. Together with inorganic materials like clays, rubber and abrasives like aluminum oxide, graphite and cokes belong to Friction Modifiers. Depending on applications being non-asbestos organics (mainly Asia, North and South America), low steel (mainly Europe) and semi-metallic, the carbonaceous fraction can represent up to 25% in weight of friction materials. Regarding the carbonaceous aspect, formulators are using a mix of calcined petroleum coke (CPC), synthetic graphite and natural graphite to balance the specific performance of each individual ingredient.
