Why Formulate with Synthetic Calcium Silicate?
Synthetic Calcium Silicate (acicular micro-fibers) serves as a high-performance structural reinforcer and thermal stabilizer in NAO, Low-Metallic, and Semi-Metallic brake pads and clutch facings.
Key Performance Benefits
High Thermal Stability: Withstands temperatures over 1,000∘C(1,832∘F), stabilizing the friction coefficient (μ) and eliminating thermal brake fade.
Superior Shear Strength: Needle-like crystal morphology forms an internal 3D interlocking matrix, boosting pad shear strength and preventing edge cracking under heavy braking.
Rotor-Friendly & Quiet (NVH): Optimized Mohs hardness (4.5−5.0) minimizes brake squeal and protects cast-iron brake rotors from excessive wear.
100% Eco-Friendly & Safe: Completely asbestos-free, zero respirable silica, and fully compliant with global copper-free and REACH regulations.
Target Applications
Passenger Cars & EVs: Ideal for low-dust, ultra-quiet NAO brake pads.
Commercial & Heavy-Duty Vehicles: Provides high-load structural support and heat resistance for commercial trucks and buses.
