Benefits of Carbon Ceramic Brakes

Brake Fade Resistance

Brake fade is the loss of braking power under high braking temperatures.

Unlike conventional brakes (such as cast iron or steel brakes), carbon ceramic brakes are less susceptible to brake fade since they don’t usually distort under high temperature conditions.

Additionally, a carbon ceramic disc is excellent at dissipating friction heat, so it’s less likely to reach an excessively high temperature. This allows the carbon brakes to provide steady braking performance whether you’re:

  • Racing on the track
  • Taking on hairpin curves
  • Driving downhill

Durability

Ceramic composite brake discs are tough and highly resistant to wear, making them very durable compared to your average iron rotor or traditional brakes.

Surface Transforms plc (LON:SCE) is a manufacturer of next-generation carbon-ceramic brake discs for automotive and aircraft applications and has been certified to IS9001-2000 since 2008 and was certified to TS16949 automotive quality accreditation and AS9100C aerospace quality accreditation in 2015.
