Posi Quiet brake pads are manufactured using the same positive molding
process utilized by Original Equipment suppliers. Positive molding uses
extreme pressure to compress the friction material and bond it to the
backing plate. This process assures consistent friction material
density throughout the pad, resulting in even wear and performance
characteristics throughout the life of the brake pad.
The number
one cause for customer returns are noise and vibration. Centric Parts
has recognized these issues and is constantly improving its products to
eliminate these issues. Posi Quiet brake friction features either
precision cut or shaved backing plates and mechanically attached shims;
these small details ensure proper fitment in the caliper and virtually
eliminate noise associated with pad vibration. In addition to these
features Centric Parts has added a scorching process to all of its Posi
Quiet brake pads. This additional process forces any impurities out of
the friction material and pre-burnishes the pads to greatly accelerate
the break-in process.
Posi Quiet brake pads are available in three application specific compounds, each formulated to match O.E.
• Longest wearing most advanced material available
• Lowest dust
• Stable friction performance across wide temperature range
Extreme pressure compresses the friction material creating a more
consistent material density throughout the pad This process utilized by
O.E. suppliers is the most advanced available today.
Precision cut or shaved backing plates reduce vibration and noise by
ensuring proper fit in the caliper. Correct fitment results in even pad
wear and consistent braking power throughout the lifetime of the brake
pad.
All Posi Quiet brake pads feature mechanically attached, application
specific shims. These shims provide superior noise abatement compared
to lesser adhesive or drift-lock style shims utilized by other
manufacturers.
Scorching
Posi Quiet pads are the only full-line of aftermarket pads that are
scorched. This OEM process enhances key friction performance levels.
Scorching raises initial cold effectiveness, stabilizes friction levels
right out of the box, provides consistent performance across the entire
operating range.
During
the scorching phase; each brake pad surface is super-heated to simulate
the initial break-in process performed by installation technicians.
This additional step removes any uncured bonding agents eliminating the
need for initial break-in and reducing noise caused by pad glazing.
Scorching thermally conditions the pad material which yields a more
consistent and higher friction level right out of the box.
Scorching benefits the vehicle owner by promoting a more complete bed-in of new pads, increasing the
effective stopping power from the first stop.
