BRAKE PADS

TCT CERAMIC DISC BRAKE PADS – KEM Friction Pro TCT® (True Ceramic Technology) brake pads offer precise control of NVH – Noise, Vibration and Harshness. TCT ultra-quiet, low-dusting brake pads cover those applications where OE specifies a ceramic pad or are a premium upgrade to traditional friction. KEM Friction Pro’s unique manufacturing process includes Factory-Attached Noise-Buster® Shims, OEMatch Slots, Chamfers, Wear Sensors* and a non-heavy metal content, environmentally friendly formulation that makes braking noticeably cooler, cleaner and quieter.

CARBON-CERAMIC DISC BRAKE PADS – These brake pads are produced with Positive Mold Technology – utilizing an advanced, long-lasting carbon and ceramic formula with factory-attached Noise-Buster® Shims, Chamfers, Slots and Wear Sensors*. They are ideal for use on all types of vehicles from compacts to the heaviest-load bearing...SUV, truck, police, emergency, taxi and more. Our Carbon-Ceramic brake pads provide secure stopping power even under the most grueling operating conditions – with less pedal effort, less fade, lower wheel dusting, reduced NVH and extended service life. PREMIUM CARBON-METALLIC & NAO/LOW-MET DISC BRAKE PADS – The KEM Friction Pro Premium brake pad line, is formulated from 100% non-asbestos Carbon-Metallic or NAO/Low-Met materials. These non-heavy metal content, integrally molded brake pads include factory-attached Noise-Buster Shims, Chamfers, Slots and Wear Sensors*. The majority of Carbon- Metallic pads are produced with Positive Mold Technology. Whether the application calls for Carbon-Metallic or NAO/Low-Met, KEM Friction Pro Premium pads provide quiet, dependable stopping power and improved braking performance. PERFECT VALUE® DISC BRAKE PADS – Perfect Value Semi-Met and NAO brake pads provide durable service and are geared to the budget-conscious. All KEM Perfect Value® pads are formulated for domestic and import passenger cars and trucks that require a dependable disc brake pad – allowing you to compete on price without sacrificing quality and safety.

Advanced Technology Creates Quieter, Longer Lasting Disc Brake Pads.

Positive Mold Technology — During the manufacturing process, a piston drives down into the mold cavity applying precise pressure and heat directly onto the friction material. This creates better density of material and a longer lasting pad. A PMT pad’s shear strength is 400 times stronger than a riveted pad.

Due to the use of this specific process, the friction material can be a “dry mix”, therefore requiring 50% less resin* in the formula. Less resin means no cracking, less fade, and a noise free, longer lasting pad life.

*When the brakes are applied during driving, the friction material heats up. This heat causes the resin in the pad to release a gas that leads to brake fade.

Constrained Layer Shims are the only proven method of noise reduction; and your best defense against brake noise. That’s why they’re used by KEM and OE manufacturers. Two layers of steel surround a visco-elastic sound dampening wafer. During operation, the metal layers move at different rates, and this micro-movement allows the visco-elastic layer to absorb the vibrational energy and dampen noise.

Other manufacturers use an insulator technology, where a shim is simulated as part of the backing plate. This method leads to plate flexing, separation of friction material and uneven rotor wear. KEM Friction Pro brake pads with factory- attached, non-migrating shims, absorb and dissipate heat away from the friction material, control vibration and dampen noise to inaudible sound levels.
