Improved Synthetic Graphite: Superior Performance and CoF Stabilization

The HRS™ graphite grades are entirely manufactured in the USA and have been developed with the target of providing more flexibility to brake pad formulators looking for performance
enhancement.

The higher resilience of these products compared to regular graphite provides several technical advantages when used as a partial or total replacement for the standard graphitic material in a brake pad formulation.

The HRS™ grades are improved synthetic graphite, manufactured via Superior Graphite’s proprietary High Temperature Technology, promoting outstanding performance and fade reduction, due to the stable coefficient of friction of the pads. Additionally, the improved synthetic graphite promotes consistent compressibility increase, contributing to excellent noise test results.

Performance Enhancement and CoF Stability

HRS™ 19 improves the performance based on the SAE J2522. The test results compare the improved synthetic graphite performance with an Aftermarket award winning NAO brake pad and clearly shows a stable coefficient of friction in the formulation using the HRS™ as a replacement to regular graphite.

Performance Test (SAE J2522)

A closer look at the Fade section 9 shows the most outstanding feature of the HRS™: the high stability in coefficient of friction (CoF) exhibiting almost no fading in this section, important factor for braking reliability and torque blending in electric and hybrid vehicles. The stability of the coefficient of friction is related to the homogenous and stable friction layer formation on the brake pad surface, contributing to lower wear rates, decreased brake particle emission - an added advantage from an environmental perspective.
