Key Advantages
- Superior Heat Resistance
- The sintered Brake Pads Friction Materials (copper/iron/steel alloy matrix) maintain stable friction performance even at 800°C, reducing brake fade in downhill driving.
- Enhanced Wear Resistance
- Metal-to-metal bonding in Brake Pads Mixes increases service life by 40% compared to organic formulas.
- Optimized for Heavy-Duty Use
- Ideal for high-performance vehicles and commercial trucks, with 30% shorter braking distance at 100 km/h versus semi-metallic pads.
- Consistent Performance
- Homogeneous microstructure from sintering ensures uniform friction distribution across the rotor surface.
Formula Composition
The brake pads formula contains:
- Metallic Matrix: Copper (50–60%), iron (20–25%), steel fibers (10–15%)
- Friction Modifiers: Graphite (5–8%), molybdenum disulfide (3–5%)
- Reinforcements: Silicon carbide particles (2–4%)
Storage & Packaging Requirements
