How Long Low-Metallic Brake Pads Should Last?
Low-metallic brake pads usually last between 30,000 and 70,000 kms. If you're often driving in stop-and-go traffic or carrying heavy loads, they might wear out faster. But if you're mostly on highways, you can get more life out of them.
Low Metallic vs Ceramic Brake Pads
Low-metallic brake pads are great for stopping power and heat dissipation but tend to be noisier and create more brake dust.
Ceramic brake pads, on the other hand, are quieter, produce less dust, and last longer, but they might not handle heat as well under extreme driving conditions.
If you want performance, go for low-metallic; if you prefer comfort and cleaner wheels, ceramic pads are a solid choice.
Low Metallic vs Semi Metallic Brake Pads
Low-metallic brake pads give you good stopping power and handle heat well, but they can be a bit noisy and dusty.
Semi-metallic pads are more durable and work better in tough conditions, like heavy braking or colder weather, but they also tend to be louder and wear down the rotors faster.
If you're after strong performance, semi-metallic is the way to go, but for everyday driving with less noise, low-metallic pads might be a better fit.
Brake Pad Shim Materials
Cloth Anti-Noise Shim
Made of fiber or woven material for basic noise reduction. Cost-effective and suitable for standard driving conditions. Used in economy vehicles and general aftermarket brake pads.
Rubber Anti-Noise Shim
Rubber-coated steel shim provides excellent sound and vibration dampening. Offers quiet braking and comfort in daily driving. Common in OEM and high-quality aftermarket pads for passenger cars.
Stainless Steel Anti-Noise Shim
Durable metal shim that withstands high temperatures and pressure. Long-lasting and ideal for heavy-duty performance. Used in trucks, SUVs, and high-performance or premium brake pads.

Production Process of Brake Pads
Step1: Precision Mixing with 800L Plough and Rake Mixer
The production of our low-metallic brake pads begins with a carefully controlled mixing process. Using an 800-liter plough and rake mixer, we blend key materials such as steel fibers, mineral wool, graphite, resins, and wear inhibitors.
Each formula is tailored to meet customer specifications, with the friction coefficient, wear rate, and noise levels precisely adjusted through the optimized ratio of raw materials.
This ensures that every batch delivers consistent performance and meets the desired quality standards.
Step2: Brake Plate Preparation – Surface Cleaning, Shot Blasting & Gluing
Before friction materials are applied, the steel back plates undergo a thorough processing stage to ensure optimal adhesion and long-term performance.
First, each plate is meticulously cleaned to remove any oil, dirt, or contaminants.
Next, shot blasting is performed to create the proper surface roughness, enhancing the bond between the steel and the friction layer.
Finally, adhesive is applied with precise control over thickness and coverage, ensuring even application without any surface residue.
This careful preparation is key to the durability and safety of our brake pads.
Step3: Hot Forming Process and Heat Treatment
In this stage, the mixed raw materials are poured into molds and hot-pressed to form the initial shape of the brake pads. This process ensures a strong and precise integration of the friction material with the backing plate.
Once formed, the rough pads undergo a critical heat treatment—baked in an oven at high temperature for over 6 hours—to enhance material strength and stability. Each mold set can produce 6–8 pieces per cycle, and changing molds typically takes over 30 minutes.
This careful and consistent process lays the foundation for high-performance, durable brake pads.
Step4: Grinding and Cutting for a Smooth Finish
After the heat treatment process, the brake pads often have surface burrs and uneven edges. To ensure a precise fit and smooth appearance, each pad undergoes grinding and cutting.
This step removes excess material, evens out the surface, and brings the pad to its final shape – preparing it for further processing and quality checks.
Step5: Machining – Slotting and Chamfering
To enhance the performance and safety of the brake pads, this stage involves precision slotting and chamfering.
Grooves are added to improve heat dissipation, reduce dust buildup, and optimize friction during braking.
Chamfering helps minimize noise and ensures a smoother contact with the brake disc.
Throughout the process, we carefully monitor the thickness and flatness of the pad surface using a linear grinder to ensure accuracy and consistency.
Step6: Painting – Rust Protection and Visual Finish
To protect the steel backing plates from rust and enhance the overall appearance, each brake pad undergoes a precision painting process.
We use electrostatic powder spraying – applying either flat or textured finishes – to ensure full and even coverage.
Key factors such as electrostatic voltage, oven temperature, baking time, and coating thickness are carefully controlled to achieve a durable, uniform finish that not only looks professional but also withstands harsh conditions.
Step7: Final Assembly and Packaging
In the final stage, each brake pad is carefully assembled and prepared for delivery. We begin with pad printing and coding, marking both the friction material and steel backing with clear, precise identifiers. Attention is paid to positioning, size, adhesion, and clarity to ensure traceability and brand consistency.
Next, all necessary accessories—such as shims, wear sensors, springs, and clips—are installed with exact alignment and secure fastening. This includes rotary and pressure riveting, gluing, and checking for proper fit and durability. We also inspect critical features like alarm signal lengths, shock plates, and reinforcement blocks to guarantee functionality and safety.
Finally, each product is packed into individual color boxes, then grouped into cartons and secured on wooden pallets—ready for storage or shipment.
