Advantages of Metallic-Based Formula
- Enhanced Durability
- The Brake Pads Mixture contains 40–50% steel fibers and copper particles, reducing pad wear by 25% compared to semi-metallic formulas.
- Suitable for frequent stop-and-go driving in commercial trucks.
- High-Temperature Stability
- Maintains stable friction performance up to 800°C, preventing brake fade during prolonged downhill braking.
- Superior Heat Dissipation
- Metallic components improve thermal conductivity, lowering rotor temperature by 15–20%.
- Cost-Effectiveness
- Extended service life (60,000–80,000 km) reduces replacement frequency for fleet operators.
Key Formula Components
The brake pads formula integrates:
- Friction Modifiers: Graphite (10–12%), iron oxide (8–10%)
- Reinforcements: Steel wool (30–35%), copper fibers (15–18%)
- Binders: High-temperature phenolic resin (12–15%)
This brake pads mixture ensures optimal balance between friction efficiency and noise suppression (<75 dB at 80 km/h braking).
Storage & Packaging Guidelines
- Packaging:
- Individually wrapped in anti-corrosion VCI paper.
- Stacked on wooden pallets (max 20 layers) with edge protectors.
- Storage:
- Temperature: -10°C–35°C in dry, ventilated warehouses.
- Relative humidity: <65% to prevent oxidation of metallic components.
Applications
Ideal for heavy-duty trucks, dump trucks, and trailers requiring high shear strength and thermal resistance. Compatible with drum and disc brake systems across major brands (Mercedes-Benz Actros, Volvo FH16).
This brake pads formula complies with ECE R90 and GB 5763 standards, ensuring global regulatory acceptance.
