What Are Ceramic Brake Pads?

n the past years, before the emergence of the ceramic brake pads, experts tested many materials to be used in brake pads. But each of them had disadvantages that were left out by different scholars.

Since the invention of the cars to its remarkable development in human societies, it has always been the major concern of engineers to stop the vehicle at various speeds. This means stopping the car in the shortest time possible using materials that are not harmful to human health.

Emergence of Ceramic Brake Pads

Finally, after a lot of trial and error made by major corporations around the world, around the 1990s, they came up with a mix of materials that solved this problem.

“Their new magical way was to use ceramic materials.”

According to studies, the ceramic brake pads showed a tremendous performance during braking, produced very little sound that had a very low frequency which is outside the human hearing range, and, moreover had other chemical and technical benefits which was all a plus of this technology. Ceramic pads, for example, did not produce dust particles, and therefore the car tires were cleaner and more durable. Another advantage of ceramic pads is their affordability, because they are more resistant to ageing and work longer.

Is Every Ceramic Pad a Real Ceramic Pad?

All of the above is true only if the brake pads are real ceramic pads and the purity of the materials used in them is equal to the set global standards. If the ingredients or their purity are tampered or modified, the brake pads will vary. These pads come with names like organic or NAO, which means they are totally different in technology and will not have the quality and accuracy of the actual ceramic brake pads.

After the general modifications in the combination of brake materials and the emergence of ceramic pads, it was time to reform their physical structure and in the industrial design of this piece, more engineering principles were considered to ultimately achieve the required standards.

ELIG Brake pad is the first foreign ceramic pads in Iran which is manufactured in accordance with production standards and without asbestos. Samples taken from the manufacturer have been finally approved after numerous technical experiments according to the weather conditions of Iran (four seasons).

It should be noted that in the experiments, the road conditions of Iran have been well studied and this product is now being distributed as a quality product in our country.

What Is the Function of a Ceramic Brake Pad?

The lifetime of the ceramic brake pads depends on factors such as type of vehicle, speed, weight, road conditions, material, the quality of the brake pads, the type of driving and the type of disc pad (very important). In general, the durability and longevity of the brake pads are determined by the car use in ordinary streets, highways or driving in the heights and ramps.

Therefore, the exact lifetime of a product cannot be determined. However, the product quality can give you the feeling of comfort and confidence. ELIG ceramic brake pads, with their international quality, has a special position in this regard.
