dc.description.abstractThe commercial brake pads made from asbestos are found to be carcinogenic hence, researchers and brake pad manufacturers have diverted attention to the use of agricultural wastes to replace asbestos made brake pads. This study investigated the use of palm kernel shell, coconut shell, seashell and cow bone as base material for the development of automobile brake pads. This work focused on combining the aforementioned agricultural wastes with 45% base material, 30% binder, 10% filler, 10% lubricant, and 5% abrasive. The samples were produced using sieve grades of 150 µm particle size and were compressed in a mould at a pressure of 15MN/m2 and a temperature of 195oC. Results were compared with both commercial asbestos-based brake pad and laboratory formulated palm kernel shell-based brake pad. The results showed that sample S3 which is a combination of palm kernel shell, coconut shell and seashell; and sample S5 which is a combination of cow bone, seashell and palm kernel shell are the best substitute to replace the commercially manufactured asbestos brake pad.
