Introduction to Car Brake Pads with Low Metallic Formula
Low-metallic brake pads utilize an optimized Brake Pads Mixture that balances performance and environmental sustainability. This Brake Pads Formula incorporates carefully selected Brake Pads Friction Materials to deliver reliable braking efficiency while minimizing metal content.
Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Value/Description |
|---|---|
| Friction Coefficient | 0.40–0.48 (μ) |
| Operating Temperature | -30°C to 550°C |
| Compressive Strength | ≥75 MPa |
| Density | 2.3–2.6 g/cm³ |
| Metal Content | 10–20% (steel fibers & copper particles) |
| Certifications | SAE J661, ECE R90, ISO 9001 |
Key Advantages
- Enhanced Durability
- The Brake Pads Mixes combine steel fibers and copper particles, improving heat dissipation and reducing wear rates by 15–20% compared to non-metallic variants.
- Balanced Noise Control
- Aramid fiber additives in the brake pads friction materials suppress high-frequency squeal (<75 dB at 80 km/h braking) while maintaining stable friction output.
- Eco-Friendly Design
- Reduced copper content (≤5%) complies with California SB 346 regulations, minimizing environmental impact.
- Wide Compatibility
- Suitable for both daily driving and moderate performance vehicles, with rotor compatibility spanning cast iron and carbon-coated surfaces.
Storage & Packaging Requirements
- Packaging:
- Individually wrapped in anti-oxidation paper.
- Stacked in reinforced cardboard boxes with “Fragile” and “Keep Dry” labels.
- Storage:
- Temperature: 5°C–35°C (avoid direct sunlight).
- Maximum humidity: 65% RH.
- Shelf life: 24 months from production date.
Formula Composition Breakdown
The brake pads formula consists of:
- Friction Modifiers: Graphite (10–12%), iron oxide (8–10%)
- Structural Reinforcements: Steel fibers (10–15%), aramid pulp (6–8%)
- Binder System: Modified phenolic resin (12–15%)
This low-metallic brake pads mixture achieves optimal balance between stopping power, thermal stability, and environmental compliance, making it ideal for urban and suburban driving conditions.
