Brake Pads Corundum
At Annat, we engineer brake pads for uncompromising durability and performance—and corundum (aluminum oxide, Al₂O₃) is a cornerstone of this commitment. As a high-hardness, heat-resistant mineral, corundum transforms brake pad functionality, addressing key pain points like rapid wear and heat-induced failure in demanding driving scenarios.
Corundum’s greatest strength lies in its exceptional hardness and abrasion resistance. With a Mohs hardness rating of 9 (second only to diamond), it outperforms common friction additives like silica (Mohs 7) by 28% in wear resistance. In Annat’s lab tests, brake pads formulated with 12–15% corundum exhibit a wear rate of just 0.6–0.9 mm per 10,000 km—35% lower than pads without corundum, and far below the industry average of 1.5–2.0 mm per 10,000 km. This extends pad lifespan significantly, even for heavy-duty vehicles like SUVs or commercial vans.

Another critical advantage is its superior thermal stability. Corundum maintains structural integrity up to 2,072°C—far exceeding the maximum operating temperature of Brake Pads Friction Materials (typically 600–800°C). In extreme heat tests, Annat brake pads with corundum retain a friction coefficient of 0.40–0.43 (only a 5% drop from room temperature), while conventional pads see a 20%+ drop, leading to dangerous “friction fade.”
Additionally, corundum enhances consistent braking force by preventing “glazing”—a common issue where high heat smooths pad surfaces, reducing grip. Our field data shows that corundum-infused pads deliver 92% consistent stopping distance over 50,000 km, compared to 75% for standard Brake Pads Formula.

For Annat, corundum isn’t just an additive—it’s a promise of reliability. Every brake pad with corundum meets global safety standards (ECE R90, FMVSS 135) and is rigorously tested to handle the toughest roads, ensuring drivers get both long-lasting performance and peace of mind.
