Raw Material
Our brake pads are manufactured using raw material variant Q-235 B. The lining of all these brake pads are of high metal content, non-asbestos, and environment friendly in nature, along with smoother edges as compared to others in market. Semi-metallic material leads to smoother braking performance, superior fade resistance, minimal brake disc wear rate, better solid brake pedal feels with low noise. These function equally efficient over wet, dry, hot or cold surfaces.

Manufacturing
We manufacture single quality of brake pad lining by using synthetics mixed with some proportion of flaked metals. Different pads use steel, iron and copper, glass fiber. Our exquisite workmanship allows them to endure a temperature of 300°C with less wears rate, longevity, good performance of thermal recession and water recession. It is mainly supported to domestic market OEM and exported overseas in large quantity.

Heat Treatment |
Inhouse Heat treatment process |
Outsourced in most of the factories |
Grain alignment to give better raw material strength and to reduce internal stress |
Testing
We take the onus of your safety and comfort by creating each part with utmost precision. Our brake pads ensure:
- Safety – Adhesive ensures good bonding between friction materials and Back plate under roughest driving conditions.
- Steadiness – Advanced friction engineering to ensure stable performance across wide range of temperatures.
- Resistance – Good load capacity and stopping power for longer period in different environment and conditions.
- Comfort – Better materials ensure reduced noise and vibration making it easy to control and comfortable to stop.
- The finished brake pads are thoroughly checked and tested to ensure 100% accurate fitting before dispatching.

Importance of test
- Wear test is carried out to predict the wear performance and to investigate the wear mechanism. Two specific reasons are as follows: – From a material point of view, the test is performed to evaluate the wear property of a material so as to determine whether the material is adequate for a specific wear application.
- Coefficient of Friction is a value that shows the relationship between the force of friction between Brake pad and brake disc. Also carried out to determine the normal reaction between the objects that are involved
