Advantages of Low Metallic Brake Pads
- Enhanced Durability for Heavy Loads
- The Brake Pads Mixes incorporate 15–20% steel fibers and copper particles, providing exceptional heat dissipation and structural integrity during prolonged braking.
- Tested to withstand 50,000+ braking cycles under 10-ton axle loads.
- Stable Friction Performance
- Maintains consistent friction coefficient (±5% variation) across extreme temperatures (-30°C to 750°C), critical for mountainous terrain operations.
- Reduced Environmental Impact
- Copper content <5%, complying with U.S. EPA Brake Pad Copper Reduction Regulations (SB 346).
- Noise Suppression
- Integrated damping shims and chamfered edges reduce noise levels to <75 dB at 80 km/h braking.
Storage & Packaging Specifications
- Packaging Requirements:
- Individually wrapped in anti-corrosion VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) paper.
- Stacked vertically in reinforced wooden crates (max 20 pairs/crate) to prevent edge chipping.
- Storage Conditions:
- Temperature: 5°C–35°C with relative humidity <65%.
- Avoid direct sunlight and keep minimum 1m distance from heating sources.
Formula Composition
The brake pads formula is composed of:
- Friction Materials: Steel fibers (15%), copper particles (5%), ceramic compounds (25%)
- Reinforcement: Aramid fibers (10%), baryte powder (20%)
- Binders: Modified phenolic resin (20%) with graphite lubricant (5%)
This Brake Pads Mixture achieves optimal balance between thermal stability (750°C heat resistance) and braking responsiveness (0.3s friction response time), making it ideal for commercial trucks and trailers.
