The idealization of this research work is to extend the utilization of the naturally available fibers as a key ingredient in the development of a non-asbestos free brake pad. The fibers used in this work are  Caryota urens,  which is found all over the Asian regions and abundantly available. The compression molding machine was used to develop the non-asbestos free brake pad. The fibers were added in weight percentages of 5, 10 and 15. The various physical, chemical, and mechanical properties were evaluated. Chase test rig was used to evaluate the tribological properties. The combination of  Caryota urens  fiber with the barytes had a more significant influence on the tribological properties. The brake pad composites with ten weight percent of  Caryota urens  fibers based brake pads possessed a good coefficient of friction values with less fade values and less fluctuations. Increasing the weight percentage of  Caryota urens  fibers in the brake pad formulation had a decreasing trend in the wear performance but increased recovery properties.
