Braking performance with Surface Transforms’ advanced technology

Surface Transforms has pioneered a next-generation Carbon Fiber Reinforced Ceramic (CFRC) material through proprietary processes. This innovation transforms Carbon-Carbon into Carbon-Silicon Carbide (CSiC) ceramic, setting a new standard in braking technology.

While most production road cars utilise discontinuous (chopped) carbon fiber in their carbon-ceramic discs, Surface Transforms takes a different approach. By interweaving continuous carbon fiber to form a 3D multi-directional matrix, they produce a stronger and more durable product. This advanced design offers three times the heat conductivity of standard components, maintaining lower brake system temperatures and ensuring consistent performance.

Surface Transforms has developed unique, patented next-generation Carbon-Ceramic Technology that delivers superior braking performance for both road and track. Here are seven compelling reasons to equip your vehicle with this cutting-edge technology:

  1. Weight Savings: Up to 70% lighter than iron brakes, typically reducing 20kg of unsprung weight.
  2. Improved Handling and Driveability: Enhanced vehicle control and responsiveness.
  3. Enhanced NVH: Reduced noise, vibration, and harshness for a smoother drive.
  4. Superior Performance: Reliable braking in both wet and dry conditions.
  5. Reduced Brake Wear: Increased lifespan of brake components.
  6. Corrosion Resistance: Completely free from corrosion.
  7. Exceptional Performance from Cold: Immediate and reliable braking performance, even at low temperatures.

Surface Transforms’ CSiC technology represents the pinnacle of braking performance, combining innovation and practical benefits that significantly enhance driving experience and safety. By integrating these advanced materials, you ensure your vehicle is equipped with the best in braking technology.
