Torque converter wafers by Raybestos Powertrain are manufactured with premium OE tan material containing cellulose fibers, a special blend of saturants which provide excellent co-efficients of friction and high-energy Kevlar® material to prevent shuddering during modulated TCC lock-up. The Raybestos coating process is state-of-the-art and uses PL700 adhesive, the industry standard for the OE market. The coating process forms a lattice structure with the friction material for optimum shear strength.

Our Crawfordsville Technical Center conducts research and development on material formulation, adhesives, pack design, bonding, saturation, and other areas of product development. It also provides technical and application engineering support for all heavy duty and automotive applications. Materials are tested on a wide range of dynamometers, including standard SAE #2 machines, Torque Converter stands, TO4's, GKII, strokers, and an 8-speed transmission coupled to a 335 kW motor used for testing wet wheel brake products.
