Short answer
FTC Brake Lining is a rigid moulded, asbestos-free, high-friction (FF) material designed for optimal stopping power, maximum lining life and minimal drum wear, in every kind of weather. The AF-999 grade has excellent wear characteristics.
What brake lining does
Brake lining is the friction layer bonded or riveted to a brake shoe. It is where the stopping actually happens, so it is one of the most important components of any braking system and needs reliable, safe and consistent materials.
FTC linings are designed for the most demanding on-road conditions on almost every make and model of vehicle, delivering low heat conductivity and minimal lining wear.
