| Developed to provide the ultimate in stopping power and fade-free feel. PFC pads are produce from a Carbon Metallic composition. Carbon possesses very good dimensional stability at elevated temperatures. Therefore, the pad is less likely to deform and deteriorate at high temperatures, which can range anywhere between 572℉ and 1472℉ (300℃ and 800℃). The metallic elements help to increase the coefficient of friction of the pad material for improved braking. |
All PFC compounds have similar relative density/structural integrity/compressibility and Rockwell hardness. In other words, all PFC pads are in the region of medium to hard. The terms soft – medium – hard tend to be used by pad manufactures where they produce a pad to cope with one criterion, but exhibits poor performance in other areas. PFC pads are one of the few in the market place that can offer excellent stopping power with excellent wear characteristics of both the pad and the disc. The difference in compounds is more a measure of the characteristics of that compound, rather than a measure of its softness or hardness. |
