The invention relates to a ceramic-fiber-paper-based friction plate and a production method thereof and aims to provide the friction plate which is high in friction coefficient and fine in wear resistance and the production method which is simple in procedure and easy and convenient for production. According to the technical scheme, the ceramic-fiber-paper-based friction plate comprises ceramic fiber, carbon fiber, aramid pulp fiber, long staple cotton paper, diatomite, cashew shell oil friction powder, calcium carbonate whisker, boron carbide, potassium feldspar powder, rubber granule, iron sulfide, mica, alum, magnesia, cashew shell oil modified phenolic resin, powdered fluorine rubber, butyronitrile rubber latex, boron-tung oil modified phenolic resin and moderate additives. The production method includes the steps of firstly, producing pretreatment material, mixing material and size and performing papermaking to produce raw paper of ceramic-fiber-paper-base friction material; and secondly, soaking the raw paper in adhesive, cutting into strips after hot-pressing solidification, and adhering to a friction plate core plate to obtain the ceramic-fiber-paper-based friction plate.
