Responsible for stopping vehicles quicker and quieter than ever before, brake pads are one of the most important components in the braking system. And is why there’s no compromise when it comes to choosing one. As a leading Tier-1 OE manufacturer, our pads are designed, manufactured and tested to the meet the same standards of performance, consistency and longevity as the OE. We call it Delphi’s “Five Layers of Quality”… and we build these into every one of our pads.
1) Shims: OE-quality, multi-layered shims for quieter braking.
2) Back plate: Manufactured from high-strength pressed steel with a special powder coating for increased strength and wear resistance.
3) OE underlayer: 3mm noise-absorbing friction material for reduced heat transfer (up to 22%) and increased sheer strength (up to 31%).
4) Friction material: more than 130 different friction ingredients and 20 unique friction formulations engineered for the vehicle class.
5) Friction surface: OE configured chamfers to shorten bedding in and reduce noise. Plus slots for increased flexibility and water and dust removal.
To learn more about Delphi’s “Five Layers of Quality”
- Manufactured to meet the same standards of performance, consistency and longevity as the OE.
- Feature OE noise fixes such as OE-configured chamfers, shims and underlayer technology.
- Use over 130 different friction ingredients to create 20 unique formulations for the best match of pad to vehicle.
- Introduction of copper-free range years ahead of 2025 legislation – new friction formula offers improved brake fade performance without compromising noise control or heat dissipation.
