Smart-Pad RaceCompetition Friction Materials
Carbon and ceramic friction-material development for competition braking systems, with a dedicated sensing-enabled product pathway.
The range
Friction for
competition duty.
Smart-Pad Race is a separate application programme. Materials and interfaces are developed around the disc, duty cycle and competition environment.
Where it works
Defined environments.
Specific responsibilities.
Competition applications using carbon–carbon and carbon–ceramic discs. Product selection and evidence are specific to the friction couple.
Products in this range
Complementary roles.
Products are selected for their operating role. Each has its own application and evidence requirements.

How it is made
Process follows
the operating role.
A polymer-derived ceramic binder replaces a conventional phenolic binder route. Formulation, curing and conversion are developed together with the friction couple and target application. Emission and friction benefits require measurement.
Operating envelopes and performance claims are released against supporting qualification evidence.
