Advantages of Metallic Formula Brake Pads
- Exceptional Durability
- The Brake Pads Mixes contain 30–40% steel fibers and copper particles, reducing wear rates by 25% compared to non-metallic formulas.
- Ideal for frequent braking in heavy-load scenarios (e.g., cargo trucks, mining vehicles).
- Enhanced Heat Resistance
- Maintain stable friction coefficients up to 700°C, preventing brake fade during prolonged downhill braking.
- Cost-Effective Performance
- Metal-rich brake pads friction materials extend service life by 15–20%, lowering total ownership costs.
- Reduced Noise
- Integrated damping shims and chamfered edges minimize high-frequency squeal (<75 dB at 80 km/h).
Storage & Packaging Guidelines
- Packaging:
- Individually wrapped in anti-corrosion VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) paper.
- Stacked in reinforced wooden crates with humidity control packets (max 50% RH).
- Storage:
- Temperature: -10°C–35°C in dry, dust-free environments.
- Avoid direct sunlight; maximum stacking height: 4 layers.
Key Formula Composition
The brake pads formula comprises:
- Metallic Components: Steel fibers (30–35%), copper flakes (10–15%)
- Friction Modifiers: Graphite (8–12%), zirconium silicate (5–8%)
- Binders: Phenolic resin (12–15%) with hexamethylenetetramine catalyst
This optimized brake pads mixture ensures reliable performance for Class 6–8 trucks, meeting FMVSS 121 braking standards.
Applications:
- Long-haul freight trucks
- Construction equipment carriers
- Refrigerated transport vehicles
