Our ECE R90 approved brake pads are designed to produce maximum performance for minimal price. Constructed using our triple retention system it ensures that the friction material can be relied upon, even in the harshest environments.

Using state of the art production facilities, accredited to OEM approval procedures and quality systems, Intelligent Braking brake pads are engineered to exacting standards. By using European formulations and materials, for our Stage 2 brake pads, you can be 100% confident in their performance and integrity.

1. Mechanical Retention

An integral steel mesh, stud welded to the backing plate, through and around which the friction material flows. When the friction material is cured the mechanical shear strength is greatly enhanced.

2. Adhesive Retention

The backing plate (and the steel mesh) is coated with thermo-setting phenolic adhesive. This delivers the standard industry bond for the friction material to the backing plate. Strong resistant to thermal stress.

3. Formulated Retention

The best compound for brake performance may not be the best compound for bonding. In order to ensure perfect bond conditions we insert an “interlayer” of material specifically formulated for bonding between the backing plate and the main friction material block. During moulding and curing this interlayer flows and fuses organically into the main friction block and adheres perfectly to the backing plate and steel mesh. The resulting final bond is fully secure.
