Key Advantages
- Reduced Rotor Wear
- The Brake Pads Formula minimizes metallic abrasives, lowering rotor wear by 40% compared to traditional semi-metallic pads.
- Low Noise & Vibration
- Ceramic fibers and aramid pulp in the brake pads friction materials suppress high-frequency squeal (<65 dB at 80 km/h braking).
- Environmental Compliance
- Heavy-metal-free composition meets EU REACH and RoHS standards, with 30% lower dust emission.
- Thermal Stability
- Stable friction coefficient (±5%) across the temperature range (-30°C to 600°C), preventing brake fade during prolonged use.
Storage & Packaging Specifications
- Packaging:
- Sealed in moisture-proof aluminum foil bags with desiccant.
- Outer cartons marked with handling symbols (↑, Fragile, Keep Dry).
- Storage:
- Temperature: 5°C–30°C in UV-protected warehouses.
- Shelf life: 24 months from production date.
Formula Composition
The brake pads mixture includes:
- Friction Modifiers: Graphite (10–12%), zirconium silicate (8–10%)
- Reinforcements: Ceramic fibers (20–25%), aramid pulp (5–8%)
- Binders: Phenolic resin (12–15%)
- Metallic Additives: Low-carbon steel particles (<15%) for enhanced heat dissipation.
This brake pads formula is ideal for urban vehicles and hybrid cars requiring quiet operation and minimal rotor damage.
