Braking systems convert vehicle kinetic energy into thermal energy through friction. Choosing the proper friction compound and rotor metallurgy ensures fade-free stopping distance under severe driving conditions.

1. Ceramic vs. Semi-Metallic Friction Profiles

Ceramic Pads: Composed of dense ceramic compounds and copper fibers. Deliver ultra-low brake dust, whisper-quiet operation, and long rotor life for everyday commuters.

Semi-Metallic Pads: Contain 30% to 65% steel, iron, and copper. Offer superior initial bite and thermal resistance under heavy towing or track driving, but generate higher dust and rotor wear.
