Webb Transit Introduces W43 Friction

 

Cullman, AL (May 26, 2010) - Webb Transit introduces their W43 friction to the heavy duty transit and coach markets.  W43 was developed to provide both exceptional performance and value to transit and coach customers with high durability, low brake drum wear, and quiet operation.  It is an asbestos-free formulation, with a unique blend of multiple cross linked fibers coupled with a special high temperature capability resin. W43 is FMVSS121 certified.  Webb W43 friction is a result of extensive dynamometer and transit bus testing.  This product is available now and will be sold as axle sets, on new lined brake shoes, and in Webb Transit’s Super Kits - complete axle kits consisting of two (2) Webb brake drums, four (4) new lined brake shoes and two (2) hardware kits.

 

Webb W43 friction is designed to restore OE performance, when used with genuine Webb Transit brake drums and OE or OE equivalent replacement air and foundation brake system parts. Webb Transit is highly confident that W43 friction, matched with proven brake drums, will provide the safety and durability you need while substantially reducing your brake maintenance costs.
