Bismuth metallic powder

The combination of metal sulphides with “green and ecologically clean” metallic Bismuth can be considered a modern technology to be used in the brake pad industry to replace expensive or dangerous solid lubricants.

The features of bismuth

With properties very similar to lead, Bismuth is considered non-toxic and also used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Bismuth can replace lead, previously and widely used as a solid lubricant, in many applications including that of brake pads. Bismuth also has a very high synergy with sulfur, one of the widely used elements, linked to other metals, in the compounds of brake pads for the replacement of copper.

Pometon Spa produces air-atomized Bismuth powders of different grain sizes to help its customers use environmentally friendly materials that are less subject to economic fluctuations in various application sectors including brake pads.
