Key Advantages
- Eco-Safe Composition
- The Brake Pads Mixes combine ceramic fibers (25–30%), aramid pulp (8–10%), and non-asbestos organic (NAO) compounds, eliminating hazardous materials while maintaining thermal stability.
- Enhanced Durability
- Reinforced brake pads friction materials withstand extreme loads (up to 15 tons axle weight) and high-frequency braking cycles, reducing wear rates by 18% compared to traditional formulas.
- Heat Resistance
- Stable friction coefficient across the full temperature range (-30°C to 750°C), preventing brake fade during downhill descents.
- Reduced Noise & Vibration
- Integrated damping layers in the Brake Pads Mixture lower noise to <75 dB, compliant with EU Regulation No 540/2014.
Storage & Packaging Specifications
- Packaging:
- Double-layer packaging: inner vacuum-sealed moisture-proof bags + outer reinforced corrugated boxes with shock-absorbent inserts.
- Humidity control: silica gel desiccant packs maintain RH <55%.
- Storage:
- Temperature: 5°C–30°C in UV-protected warehouses.
- Stacking limit: Max 8 layers to prevent deformation of heavy-duty pads.
Formula Breakdown
The brake pads formula consists of:
- Friction Modifiers: Graphite (10–12%), zirconium silicate (5–7%)
- Binders: Modified phenolic resin (12–15%)
- Reinforcements: Steel fibers (15–18%), ceramic particles (20–25%)
This optimized brake pads mixture ensures balanced performance for commercial trucks, mining vehicles, and other heavy machinery.
Note: Custom formulations available for specific OEM requirements, including copper-free variants and extreme cold-weather adaptations.
