"Low-Resin/Positive mold" disc brake
pads
mean NO FADE—a controlled stop
every time.
The "Positive Mold" process is
the best way to manufacture quality disc brake
pads. It's the process used by all OE manufacturers.
During the "Positive Mold" press
curing, the pre-mixed ingredients are placed
directly inside the cavity of the cure tooling.
Full pressure is exerted on each part by a
punch. This guarantees full density is reached
on every part. The friction material composition
is not compromised by the process and can be
tailored for the exact characteristics needed
on the vehicle.
In the more common "Flash Mold" process,
the resin content of the material must be increased
to make the material flow. High resin content
creates fade. Fade can increase the stopping
distance up to 50%. That is the difference
between stopping short of the accident or being
involved in the accident.
