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.
