Industrial woven and flexible roll linings with and without wire reinforcement in various thickness and lengths are another speciality of HCL. Their applications are in segments or as band brakes in elevators, cranes, winches, hoists, drop hammers, concrete mixers, heavy earth moving equipment and in dry and oil immersed conditions.

Catering to the needs of vehicle manufacturers and consumers in India and abroad, HCL has a wide range of asbestos - free and asbestos based automotive brake linings. The heavy duty brake linings find application in commercial vehicles including Tata, Leyland, Mercedes Benz, Volvo, Scania, and other widely accepted international vehicles. Its brake linings and disc brake pads are also used in light commercial vehicles and two-wheelers.

Compo C/BB/K brake block is a rigid moulded friction material, grey-black in colour, having a random fibre asbestos base and containing metallic particles. It is manufactured only in the form of brake blocks, integrally moulded to a back plate. This material was originally developed to have the ability to withstand the heavy braking demands of Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) stock, operating suburban passenger services. Its use has since been extended to a range of duties from low speed shunting locomotives to high speed passenger trains. C/BB/K has a higher and more stable coefficient of friction than the conventional cast iron block which it replaces, resulting in lower application forces and permitting the use of smaller cylinders. It is a conformable block designed to eliminate thermal cracking of tyres, which had hitherto been a barrier to the widespread use of composition blocks. C/BB/K Block has several fold advantages in life over cast iron blocks and thus significantly lengthens service periods. It is particularly beneficial in those situations where hot cast iron dust would present a safety hazard. Spark-free blocks are essential in oil refineries, chemical works and ordinance factories. The composition block has much to offer in the braking of passenger rail, minimising braking shocks by its smoother action and permitting higher load/tare factor. Indian Railways have been successfully using composition brake blocks for EMU rakes for over three decades, even in monsoon conditions.   Applications : Railway Brakes     his material is particularly suitable for use against steel railway wheel tyres and for design purposes, friction level, µ is taken as 0.35.   Size Range Hindustan Composites should be consulted with regard to dimensions and design of the shape or size of the block, which is being considered.

Compressed asbestos fibre jointings are manufactured from carefully selected chrysotile fibres, intimately blended with suitable heat resisting binders, fillers and vulcanised into sheets of homogenous compositions and uniform thicknesses.

This is a versatile thermal insulation and heat resistant material produced in sheet form using good quality fibres incombustible fillers and vegetable binders. It dose not suffer loss of strength upto 485°C. When suitably supported the board can be used satisfactorily at extreme temperatures upto approx. 1400°C.

The heat resistant discs are made from materials containing a higher percentage and a small quantity of organic binder, to withstand the application temperature exceeding 1000C.

When packing the stuffing box on a valve whether during manufacture or routine maintenance, ease and speed of fitting the packing is of important consideration.To facilitate this Hindustan Composites Ltd. offers preformed rings intended for use to contain various media at different temperature and pressure ranges.

To achieve zero leakage between a moving member and a relatively stationary part a wide range of seals and rings are employed. However the most common least expensive and versatile is the Gland packing. Gland packing provides a dynamic seal for a rod shaft or stem via housing or gland which is packed with resilient or semi- resilient material providing a localized contact area which offer a physical barrier to leakage.

HCL manufactures rigid moulded and woven friction sheets with and without wire reinforcement or metallic inclusions. These are used as segments in industrial clutches, marine gearbox clutches, tractor steering clutches, power press clutches, industrial brakes and other general engineering requirements in shipping, mining, port related and other industries.
