Over the years, asbestos has been a leading material for developing automobile brake pads. However, due to its hazardous nature to human health, many researchers have found that organic materials possess the potential for replacement. The organic materials used in this research were the hybrid of coconut fruit fibre CFF and oyster sea shell OSS. These materials were gathered from the river bank, dried, crushed, washed, ground, sieved, and moulded with different additives: CuO (abrasive), graphite (friction modifier or solid Lubricant), epoxy resin (binder), hardener (catalyst) by Box Behnken design BBD of L27 experiment. Therefore, an experimental test on mechanical properties was performed to check the developed brake pad's characterization. Then, grey relational analysis was used to analyze grey relational grade GRG to convert a multiple response process optimization problem into a single response optimization using maximization of maximum GRG. The optimum parameter values producing the highest value of grey relational grade were chosen as rank one, pertained to the factors setup for experiment number S3232 having moulding pressure of 11.25MPa, moulding temperature of 180oC, and heat treatment time of 180min. The optimized response values obtained from the experiment sample S3232 give the highest values on all the responses, i.e., density of 3.483g/cm3, hardness of 52.91BHN, compressive strength of 2.78MPa, ultimate tensile strength of 3.92MPa, impact energy of 17.87N, cold water absorption of 0.2863%, hot water absorption of 0.4785%, and oil absorption of 0.4402%. After that, the optimized brake pad sample (S3232) was applied to the automobile and was suitable for braking owing to its high mechanical properties.
