Abstract: Disclosed is a resin mold clutch facing integrally heat molded out of a resin mold base member and a reinforcement member. The resin mold base member comprises a matrix composed of a glass fiber and an aromatic polyamide fiber, an inorganic filler, a solid lubricant, and a resin. The reinforcement member comprises a matrix composed of a glass strand or yarn and at least one strand or yarn selected from a group of rayon and an aromatic polyamide strand or yarn and a binder adhered to said matrix, and is shaped in a spirally wound configuration. Thus the weight of the resin mold clutch facing has been reduced, and its friction and anti-wear properties have been improved.

Abstract: Disclosed is a resin mold clutch facing integrally heat molded out of a resin mold base member and a backup member. The resin mold base member consists essentially of a matrix composed of from 10 to 20 volume % of a glass fiber, from 5 to 30 volume % of at least one heat resistance organic fiber, and from 5 to 25 volume % of at least one heat resistance inorganic fiber, based on the total volume of the resin mold base member, an inorganic filler, a solid lubricant, and a resin binder. In the resin mold clutch facing, the heat resistance inorganic fiber works to suppress the plastic flow resulting from the softening of the glass fiber at a high temperature and under a high bearing pressure. Thus, the resin mold clutch facing comes to have improved and excellent friction and anti-wear properties at a high temperature, and a long life accordingly.

Abstract: A molded resin composition of frictional material for use in clutches of automobiles or the like, comprising inorganic fiber, a resin binder, an inorganic filler and an organic filler, wherein the inorganic filler contains zirconium silicate in an amount from 0.1 to 5.0% by volume based on 100% by volume of the total composition. This composition of frictional material enables the production of clutches having excellent balanced properties between the improvement of .mu. (friction coefficient) and anti-wearing properties.
