CARBON: THE RIGHT ANSWER

The production philosophy adopted at ROESCH focuses on making use of the technologies and materials used in race cars to produce brake pads with superior quality and performance designed for use on all production cars and competition vehicles.

Many years of research have given ROESCH extensive experience in the field of materials for high-temperature applications; carbon fibres are used for all its products.

The development and improvement of these materials have made it possible to create products which offer top performance right from the first brake application, without the need for pre-heating the pads and the brakes, as required by recent European safety legislation.

In addition, carbon provides excellent braking performance at high temperatures (above 700°C); organic and inorganic materials provide a high coefficient of friction (higher than 0.56 in some competition models). Other components are used to ensure uniform thermal transfer throughout the pad, and a high-ductility material which constantly adapts to the surface of the disc, thus assuring perfectly uniform contact. All these features prevent local overheating and friction variations, as well as thermal distortion of the discs. The compound is completed by microparticle elements which, in combination with special thermal treatments, create a superbly efficient brake pad in which, at every brake application, the pad surface is renewed and maintains its grip, dissipates the heat produced by braking and significantly reduces fade.

ROESCH brake pads are asbestos free.
