Learn more about TRW brake pads

Nowadays TRW brake pads are produced by a subsidiary of the German concern ZF Friedrichshafen. This brand has a rich history. The company that brought it into existence was founded in the USA in 1901. It is that very company whose engineers designed wooden wheels for the legendary Ford Model T, and, later, also the first drum parking brake. Since then, the company has been constantly improving its experience in the field of brake technologies.

Types

• COTEC. It is a line of products with a special coating that allows to increase the friction coefficient of new brake pads. During the bedding-in process, these spare parts are able to reduce the braking distance by as much as 7 metres in comparison with non-coated items. This became possible due to the use of innovative heat plate scorching technology where the pad is pressed to a plate heated to 600–700°С. It allows to achieve carbonization of a 0.5–1.5 mm thick surface and to thoroughly burn off the resins and gases that got into the material during the production process.
• DTEC. These pads produce 45% less dust in comparison with the standard ones, while ensuring the same braking efficiency.
• Electric Blue. This is a product line designed for electric cars. There are special requirements set up for braking mechanisms of these vehicles: they should work silently, as noise in the passenger compartment of these cars is especially noticeable. These pads are equipped with anti-squeal shims with improved dampening properties. The pads are coated with a powder paint, which ensures perfect corrosion resistance.
