Brake pads CL Brakes 5004W50T17RC8R

RC8R:  RRC, TWCC, Nascar, 

Average friction coefficient: µ=0,6.

Developed in 2006, the RC8 compound boasts CL Brakes highest friction level and is used in top-tier motorsports such as WRC, WTCC, NASCAR, ZA V8, AWD GrpN, etc. Extremely high friction levels allow shorter stopping distances and the flat torque curve provides excellent modulation to prevent wheel lockup.

The -R version has a grooved packing plate to increase the surface area of the brake pad , giving extra cooling to the braking system. This brake pad compound is best for high powered vehicles that put high demands on their brakes, giving shorter braking distances, no brake fade and again a flat torque curve from cold to extreme temperatures.

CL Brakes (previously Carbone Lorraine) created in 1919, roup is the main actor in integrated on-board railway systems with more than 4500 employees and more than 30 sites over the world. Now called "Faiveley Transport Gennevilliers" and owner of the brand CL BRAKES, the Brake Pads Department retains the manufacturing activity for its sintered metal brake pads in its historical site of Gennevilliers, France, benefiting from a common know-how in R&D acquired in aeronautic as well as in rail activities, and thus allowing a constant improvement of our materials for cars, motorcycles and mountain bikes. Sintered metal brake pads are made based on powders. The friction product contains at least ten ingredients (Bronze, ceramics, graphites...). Each of these ingredients makes the friction mixture, which is then compressed in a device that will give it its final shape. The obtained item is then positionned on its metal support and then heated in a 900+°C oven. It's the sintering process : a constituent of the product melts, consolidates the material and makes it fuse with its support. The brake pad is then rectified, checked and packed.
