Valeo First Car Brake Pads
What are Brake Pads?
The Brake Pad uses the friction between two materials to convert kinetic energy into heat and thus reduce the wheel’s speed until it comes to a complete stop. As it controls the vehicle’s deceleration, brakes are one of the most important safety devices on any vehicle. The brake pad structure is made of several layers, starting with the external layer of friction material all the way to the packing plate. The surface is treated to better absorb vibrations and reduce noise.
