GOLD FREN brake pads are made from a metal-ceramic and graphite iron friction material that is suitable for both dry and wet friction applications.
High static friction coefficient
Good abrasive resistance
High braking power to 500 degree celsius
The sinstered friction material is soldered to the copper coated backing plate, so separation (which - can happen with organic material) is virtually eliminated as a failure risk
Low abrasive interaction with the brake rotor material
Three(3) times +/- longer operational life compared to organic and Kevlar composite Materials.
