the latex is able to penetrate the fiber matrix of the paper so that there is not just a superficial coating of latex on the paper once the latex has been applied to the paper the elastomer is made to precipitate by reducing the ph value to a range of between 4 0 and 5 0 this is done by adding acids for example instead of using a paper machine the friction lining may also be produced manually for example in which case the latex is manually applied to the paper if necessary it is also possible to apply the latex by a spraying process instead of applying a coating to the paper within the scope of the invention the following embodiments were prepared as examples a paper with a grammage of 300 g m 2 was used a latex based on the following composition was then applied to this paper naphthalene sulfonic acid formaldehyde condensate 0 3 by weight to 0 5 by weight by reference to the total mixture this latex was added to the paper fiber pulp and the paper was produced with a standard paper machine after applying the latex the ph value was reduced to 4 5 with an acid preferably al 2 so 4 3 to cause the elastomer molecules and elastomer to precipitate as a result a three dimensional spider 39.
