GDST Ceramic Brake Pads

Friction Body

GDST ceramic brake pads are made from a mixture of ceramic fibers, and adhesive die-casting, with a standard brake pad thickness of 1.5cm. Our factory specified a friction coefficient of 0.37.

Anti-Noise Shim

Anti-noise shims are attached to the back plate to dampen vibrations, we have stainless steel, fabric, and rubber material for you to choose from.

OE Quality Backplate

Our brake pad backplate is made of Q235 low carbon steel, generally, the hardness is 120-180HB, the thickness of the backplate is usually 5-5.5mm, and plane accuracy is 0.15 wire.

Chamfer And Slot

Slots and chamfers are cut into the friction material, which can increase friction, dissipate heat, remove dust, and reduce noise.

How Long Do Ceramic Brake Pads Last?

Ceramic brake pads can usually last between 40,000 to 50,000 kms.

Are Ceramic Brake Pads Good for Towing?

Ceramic brake pads aren't ideal for towing. They work well for regular driving but can overheat under heavy loads. For towing, semi-metallic pads are a better choice as they handle heat and provide stronger stopping power.

Do Ceramic Brake Pads Contain Asbestos?

No, ceramic brake pads don’t contain asbestos. They’re made with ceramic fibers and other materials, so you don’t have to worry about the health risks that came with older asbestos brake pads. They're a cleaner, safer choice for your car.

Are Ceramic Brake Pads Good?

Yes, ceramic brake pads are great for most drivers. They offer quiet, smooth braking and tend to last longer than other types. And, they produce less dust, which helps keep your wheels cleaner.

Ceramic Brake Pads Pros and Cons

Pros:

Quieter: Less noise compared to other types.
Cleaner: Produce less dust, keeping wheels cleaner.
Durable: Last longer with good performance.
Stable: Consistent braking, even in different conditions.

Cons:

Higher Cost: They can be more expensive than other brake pads.
Less Effective for Heavy Loads: Not ideal for towing or heavy-duty vehicles.

In short, ceramic brake pads are great for everyday driving—quiet, clean, and long-lasting—but might not be the best for heavy-duty use.

Ceramic vs Semi-metallic Brake Pads

Ceramic:

consistent performance, great for everyday driving.
a bit pricier, but less noise and dust.
long lifespan, durable.

Semi-metallic:

better for performance and heavy-duty use.
generally cheaper, but can be noisier.
shorter lifespan and more dust on wheels.

Production Process of Ceramic Brake Pads

Step1: Mixing Process - 800 L Plough And Rake Mixer

Ceramic brake pads are formulated using a precise combination of raw materials, including ceramic fibers, aramid fibers, synthetic resin binders, friction modifiers, fillers, and lubricants.

At this stage, we use an 800-liter plough and rake mixer to ensure uniform and thorough blending. The composition is customized based on the customer’s performance requirements. Key properties such as friction coefficient, wear rate, and noise level are carefully adjusted by varying the proportion of each ingredient in the formula.

Step2: Brake Plate Processing Process - Gluing Machine

Before bonding the friction material to the steel backing plate, we perform a series of surface treatments to ensure strong adhesion:

Cleaning: We clean the steel back plate thoroughly to remove oil, dust, and any other impurities. Ensures the surface is ready for strong and reliable adhesive bonding.
Shot Blasting: The backing plate undergoes shot blasting to achieve the required surface roughness, improving mechanical bonding strength.
Gluing: An adhesive is applied using a gluing machine. Special attention is paid to glue thickness and even coverage to ensure consistent bonding. No glue residue is left on exposed surfaces.

Step3: Hot Pressing & Heat Treatment

We pour the mixed friction material into the mold and apply high pressure and temperature to form ceramic brake pads. This process allows the friction material and the backing plate to bond more tightly.

After molding, we place the rough ceramic brake pads into an oven for heat treatment. The pads are baked at high temperatures for over 6 hours to cure the resin and enhance overall strength and durability.

Each set of molds typically produces 6–8 rough brake pads. It takes over 30 minutes to change a set of molds, which is factored into the overall production cycle.

Step4: Grinding And Cutting

After heat treatment, ceramic brake pads often have surface burrs and uneven edges. We perform precision grinding and cutting to remove these imperfections and ensure a smooth, flat surface. This step guarantees proper fit and performance during installation.

Step5: Machining – Slotting and Chamfering

In this stage, we perform slotting and chamfering on ceramic brake pads’ surface using a linear grinder.

Slotting helps improve friction stability, heat dissipation, and dust removal during braking.

During both slotting and chamfering, we carefully monitor the thickness and flatness of the grinding surface to ensure product consistency and performance.

Step6: Painting Stage

We apply a protective coating to ceramic brake pads’ backing plate to prevent rust and enhance its appearance. This is done through electrostatic powder spraying, using either flat powder or sand grain powder based on product requirements.

During this process, we carefully control key parameters such as: Electrostatic voltage, Drying tunnel temperature, Baking time, Spray thickness, Coating uniformity, Coverage rate.

Proper control of these factors ensures strong adhesion, corrosion resistance, and a consistent, high-quality finish.

Step7: Assembly

Print and code the friction pad and steel backing, ensuring clear, well-placed markings.

Install accessories with accurate positioning and secure attachment, using rotary or pressure riveting as needed. Check the fit and firmness of all parts, including alarms, shockproof plates, springs, and gaskets.

Pack the finished ceramic brake pads into boxes, cartons, and pallets for shipment.
