Carbone Lorraine designs friction materials for braking applications.

The reliability and performance of these materials have enabled the Group to equip the aerospace (Airbus), defense (helicopters, tanks and fighter aircraft), rail (TGV high-speed trains, road/rail systems) and racing car/motorcycle/mountain bike sectors with Carbone Lorraine brakes..

PROPERTIES OF CARBONE LORRAINE BRAKES

Carbone Lorraine brakes deliver a safe but extremely rapid reduction in speed:

The Airbus A321 can decelerate from 320km/h to 0 km/h in less than 1,200 meters
TGV high-speed trains can decelerate from 320km/h to 0 km/h in 3,000 meters without the risk of derailment.

OUR KEY STRENGTHS

Robust enough to stand up to any task: harder than plastic resins, Carbone Lorraine brakes are not blighted by the high temperatures generated in extreme braking situations.
They wear less rapidly and thus require less maintenance.
Acclaimed reliability: Carbone Lorraine's braking business is ISO 9001/94 certified.
