At Annat, we recognize mineral fibers as a cornerstone material in high-performance brake pad manufacturing—engineered to balance durability, safety, and environmental compliance for automotive and industrial braking systems. Unlike traditional asbestos or synthetic alternatives, mineral fibers are naturally derived, heat-resistant filaments that integrate seamlessly into Brake Pads Mixes, enhancing core functionality while meeting global regulatory standards (such as REACH and FMVSS 135).

Brake Pads Mineral Fibers
The advantages of mineral fibers in Brake Pads Friction Materials are rooted in their unique technical properties, validated by our R&D testing:
1. Exceptional Thermal Stability: Mineral fibers maintain structural integrity at temperatures up to 1,200°C (2,192°F)—critical for withstanding the extreme heat generated during heavy braking (e.g., downhill driving or commercial vehicle stops). This stability prevents pad degradation, ensuring consistent friction output even after 500+ consecutive braking cycles.
2. Optimized Friction Coefficient: Our mineral fiber blends deliver a controlled friction coefficient of 0.38–0.42 (measured per ISO 6310 standards), eliminating “brake fade” (loss of stopping power) and “judder” (vibration). This translates to 15% shorter stopping distances for passenger cars compared to fiber-free Brake Pads Formula, per our internal performance tests.

3. Low Wear Rate: With a wear rate of <0.08 mm/1,000 km (tested under 750 N braking force), mineral fiber-reinforced pads extend service life by 20–25% versus organic-only pads. For fleet operators, this reduces maintenance frequency and total cost of ownership.

4. Eco-Friendly & Low Noise: Mineral fibers are non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, and fully recyclable at end-of-life—aligning with Annat’s sustainability goals. They also dampen vibration, reducing brake noise to <65 dB (below the EU’s 70 dB passenger car noise limit), for a quieter driving experience.
At Annat, we tailor mineral fiber formulations to specific applications—from compact cars to heavy-duty trucks—ensuring each brake pad meets the highest standards of safety, performance, and reliability. Our commitment to innovation makes mineral fibers not just a material choice, but a driver of safer, more efficient braking solutions worldwide.
