Advantages of Copper-Free Brake Pads
- Eco-Safety & Compliance
- The Brake Pads Mixture replaces copper with ceramic compounds and steel fibers, reducing toxic dust emissions by 60% compared to traditional formulas.
- Reduced Rotor Wear
- Proprietary brake pads friction materials minimize abrasive contact, extending rotor lifespan by 25%.
- Noise Suppression
- Integrated damping shims and non-metallic brake pads mixes lower noise levels to <68 dB at 80 km/h braking.
- Thermal Stability
- Maintains consistent friction coefficient (±5%) across temperature variations, preventing brake fade during downhill driving.
Storage & Packaging Guidelines
- Packaging:
- Individually wrapped in vacuum-sealed moisture-proof bags with desiccants.
- Stacked in reinforced corrugated boxes labeled “Cu-Free” for identification.
- Storage:
- Temperature: 5°C–30°C in dry environments (max humidity 55% RH).
- Avoid direct sunlight to prevent resin degradation.
Key Formula Components
The brake pads formula comprises:
- Friction Modifiers: Ceramic particles (18–22%), graphite (10–12%)
- Structural Reinforcements: Steel wool (15–18%), aramid fibers (5–8%)
- Binders: Modified phenolic resin (12–15%)
This optimized brake pads mixture ensures compliance with EU Regulation No 305/2011 while delivering OEM-grade performance for hybrid and electric vehicles.
