Semi-metal brake pads
Semi-metallic brake pads are composed of metallic powder, organic materials and some inorganic materials, which are solidified together. This brake pad is suitable for high speed vehicles, and has excellent braking performance and good thermal stability. However, they make a lot of noise and dust, and can wear down the brake discs.
Low metal brake pads
Low metal brake pads consist of a small amount of metal powder mixed with organic and inorganic materials. They are relatively quiet and reduce brake disc wear, but they typically require longer braking distances.
Ceramic brake pads
Ceramic brake pads are composed of ceramic materials and copper materials. They are very durable and do not produce dust and noise, but their braking performance may be affected by the temperature.
