What brand is Boer Fibre? An introduction to Qingyuan Boer and BOER fibres
Abstract
Boer Fibre (BOER) is the reinforcement-fibre brand owned by Qing Yuan Boer Fibre Co., Ltd., founded in 2006 in Qingyuan, Guangdong. The company has long focused on the R&D, production and sales of asbestos-free man-made mineral fibres, serving the friction and sealing material industries, with the BE series of mineral fibres as its flagship product line. Note that its ISO 9001 certificate states the certified scope as R&D and sales; the production site should be verified by a factory audit.
Boer does not make finished products such as brake pads or gaskets. Instead it supplies the key reinforcement raw material inside them — asbestos-free man-made mineral fibre (MMMF). Per GB/T 4132-1996, man-made mineral fibre is the general term for inorganic fibres made from rock, slag, glass, metal oxides or china clay. Boer's products are made mainly from natural rocks such as diabase, basalt and dolomite, melt-processed into fibre. The wet-process purification and surface treatment steps are Boer's proprietary process and are not disclosed; only front-end areas such as raw material preparation and melt-fibre formation are visitable.
Asbestos fibres were long the main reinforcement in friction and sealing products; once their health hazard was confirmed, the industry moved worldwide toward asbestos-free formulations. Boer's position is to replace asbestos with man-made mineral fibres of comparable performance that pass asbestos testing, providing skeletal reinforcement, a stable friction layer and heat-resistant support for brake pads, clutch facings, railway brake shoes and gaskets. “Wet-process made” is Boer's brand proposition: after initial fibre formation, the fibre is purified in a water medium that separates shot from fibre using the difference in gravity and drag and eliminates electrostatic attraction; company product data report shot (>125µm) below 1% for some models, subject to the batch test report.
