Stage 1: Formulation
Development
Acetone extraction tests verify the
post cure volatility of the phenolic resin
(residual uncured). Industry standard is <2%
after post-bake (secondary cure) is acceptable.
The ABS "low resin content" formulations
perform on average at <0.5% without the
need for the post-bake process.
Reacting to our customer's needs, ABS conducts
Dynamometer testing for research and development
of existing and new formulations.
ABS Friction is a manufacturer that performs
in-house BEEP testing (Brake Effectiveness
Evaluation Procedure) based on the SAE J2430
test, which then parallels the FMVSS 135 test
(the O.E. Standard). ABS has passed BEEP
vehicle testing requirements.
