Introduction to the brake pad structure and its challenges
- Stable Friction Coefflication: Braking power must be constant and predictable at different temperatures (from cold to very hot).
- Fade Resistance: In repeated and severe brakes, the lip temperature is high. The pad should not lose its properties and the braking power should not be reduced.
- High life: The pad should be resistant to wear and a long shelf life.
- Disk Adaptation: The pad wear should not cause damage or erosion of the brake disc. Create tremors.
What is silicon and why is it used in brake pads?
1. The role of silicone in thermal stability and extends the life of brake pads
This is the most important and well -known role of silicone in the brake pad.
- Increased thermal resistance: Silicon compounds, especially silica, have a very high melting point. Their presence in the pad matrix greatly increases the structural stability of the whole set at high temperatures (which can reach more than 600-700 ° C). This prevents the decomposition of binder resins and prevents the dangerous phenomenon of "brake fading".
- Transfer Layer: During braking, a thin layer of pads is transmitted to the disk surface. Silicon helps form a uniform, stable and heat -resistant transmission layer. Instead of metal-rough-rough, this layer creates an adhesive friction that keeps both friction coefficient stable and extends the life of the brake and disk simultaneously.
- Reduce abrasion rate: Silicone improves the thermal stability and reduces the proper transmission rate. This means extending the life of brake pads and less need to replace it.
Alborz Manufacturing Group produces silicon that are specifically designed to maximize thermal stability and extend the life of the brake pad.
2. The role of silicone in improving brake quality and sound reduction (NVH)
The quality of the brake pad is not only summarized in the power of the stop, it also depends on the feeling and sound of the brake.
- Setting the friction coefficient: Silicone acts as a friction modifier. By changing the size of the particles and the type of silicone compounds, the friction coefficient of the pad can be carefully adjusted so that the braking is neither too invasive nor too weak. It helps to create a sense of soft, controllable brake pedal.
- Decrease in vibration and noise: One of the main reasons for the whistle sound is the high frequency vibration between the pad and the disk. The role of silicone in the brake pad here is to act as a Damper. Silicone particles can absorb these vibrations and prevent them from exacerbating and becoming audible. This feature directly enhances the quality of the brake pad from the end consumer perspective.
3. The role of silicone in brake disc protection
a good pad should not be an enemy of the disk. Some hard abrasives (such as aluminum oxide) can extend the life of the pad, but at the rapid corrosion price of the disk
- Mild Abrasiveness: Silicon compounds have a much milder abrasion than other hard materials while keeping the disc surface clean. This delicate balance makes the disc surface remains smooth, preventing deep grooves on it. This not only increases the life of the disk, but also ensures the long -term braking quality by maintaining the full contact level between the pad and the disk.
The Alborz Production Group specializes in the production of silicon formulations that make this balance between cleansing and mild abrasion.

With a deep understanding of the role of silicone in the brake pad, it is clear that the quality of this raw material has a direct impact on the finished product. Using inferior silicone, with low purity or inappropriate particles size, not only does not have the benefits mentioned, but can also damage the performance of the pad.
Alborz Manufacturing Group as a leading manufacturer in Karaj, relying on modern technical knowledge and equipment, offers products that meet the precise needs of the paddy industry.
Why should the brake pad manufacturers buy the silicone they need from the Alborz manufacturing group?
Conclusion: Silicon, Key to Upgrading of Iran Lating Industry
The role of silicone in enhancing the quality and life of the brake pad is undeniable. It has become a critical engineer from a simple additive that improves the performance of the pad in all aspects, from heat safety and stability to comfort and reduced sound. The future of the paddy industry depends on the clever use of advanced materials such as silicon.
