Gylon Fluorocarbons: New High-Performance Friction Materials for High-Speed, Heavy-Duty Wet Clutches

Gylon is a proprietary family of filled fluorocarbons that are the new, high-speed, high-performance friction materials of now and the future. The energy absorption, life, and power transmission capabilities it contributes to heavy-duty, wet clutches in both over-the-road and off-the-road vehicles have been demonstrated to be markedly superior to those of metallic and semimetallic friction materials currently available. Gylon friction material is providing substantive commercial solutions for current problem clutches as well as for new-generation, high-speed clutches now on the drawing board.
