Key Advantages
- Enhanced Durability for Heavy Loads
- The Brake Pads Mixture combines steel wool (10–15%), ceramic fibers (20–25%), and graphite (8–12%), ensuring stable friction even under 50-ton payloads.
- Reduces brake fade by 25% compared to traditional semi-metallic formulas.
- Reduced Rotor Wear
- Low-metallic brake pads friction materials minimize abrasive particles, extending rotor lifespan by 35%.
- Noise & Vibration Control
- Aramid fiber-reinforced brake pads mixes dampen high-frequency vibrations, maintaining noise levels below 75 dB during emergency braking.
- Environmental Compliance
- Copper content <0.5%, meeting US EPA Brake Pad Regulation.
Storage & Packaging Guidelines
- Packaging:
- Individually wrapped in anti-corrosion VCI paper.
- Stacked in reinforced wooden crates with shock-absorbing foam inserts.
- Labels include batch number and DOT compliance code.
- Storage:
- Temperature: 5°C–30°C, relative humidity <65%.
- Avoid direct sunlight; maximum stacking height: 3 layers.
