Advantages of Copper-Free Formula
- Eco-Compliance & Sustainability
- Zero copper content in the Brake Pads Mixes, preventing aquatic toxicity and meeting EU Regulation EC/1907/2006 (REACH) requirements.
- Reduces airborne particulate matter by 30% compared to traditional copper-based pads.
- Optimized Performance
- The Brake Pads Mixture combines ceramic fibers (20–25%), aramid particles (10–15%), and graphite (8–12%), ensuring stable friction across temperature ranges.
- Minimal brake dust accumulation, preserving wheel aesthetics.
- Extended Component Lifespan
- Non-corrosive brake pads friction materials reduce rotor wear by 40%, validated by 50,000 km road tests.
Storage & Packaging Guidelines
- Packaging:
- Individually wrapped in anti-static, moisture-proof bags with desiccant packs.
- Outer cartons labeled with “Copper-Free” symbols and recyclable certification marks.
- Storage:
- Temperature: 5°C–30°C in UV-protected areas.
- Maximum stack height: 8 layers to prevent deformation.
Key Formula Composition
The brake pads formula comprises:
- Friction Modifiers: Ceramic compounds (25%), graphite (10%)
- Binders: Modified phenolic resin (12–15%)
- Reinforcements: Steel fibers (5%, chromium-plated for corrosion resistance)
This brake pads mix is engineered for hybrid/electric vehicles and urban driving scenarios, balancing stopping power, durability, and environmental responsibility.
