The Importance of Weight Saving in Car Design

The Importance of Weight Saving in Car Design

Weight influences every aspect of vehicle performance, but where that weight sits is just as important as how much there is. Discover how lightweight brake components can improve grip, handling an...

The Hidden Cost of Corrosion in Braking Systems

The Hidden Cost of Corrosion in Braking Systems

Regenerative braking has transformed brake wear in EVs, but it's also created a new challenge: corrosion. Discover why brake pads are increasingly being replaced because of rust, not wear.

Dealing With Heat, so You can Go Faster

Brake heat is unavoidable, but where it goes determines whether your system performs or fails. Discover how composite brake pads help keep heat in the disc and away from critical brake component...

Brake Pad Carbon Footprint: Composite vs Steel

Composite brake pads may seem carbon‑intensive - but lifecycle performance tells a different story. We explore emissions, weight and long-term impact.

Why Composite Back Plates Are the Future of Braking

Electric vehicles are heavier, quieter, and cleaner – but their brakes still rely on heavy steel backing plates. We explore why composite brake pads make sense for EV braking systems, and how metal...

Material Science at the Limit: How Tribol Brake Pads Withstand Extreme Braking

Behind every Tribol brake pad is a carefully engineered composite system. We explain how fibres, resins and structure define performance.
