New energy vehicles need quieter braking experience

With the popularity of new energy vehicles around the world, people's requirements for electric vehicles are becoming higher and higher. Since new energy vehicles have no engine noise, other types of noise, such as brake noise, will become more obvious. Therefore, silent performance is particularly important for the braking system of new energy vehicles.

The RSR shock absorber pad series brake pads launched by FRONTECH are brake products specially developed for new energy vehicles. The advanced formula and technology can significantly reduce braking noise and vibration.

Shock absorbers are an accessory used to reduce or eliminate noise during braking. Shock absorbing pads, also known as silencer pads, are a component in the car's braking system. The brake system mainly consists of brake linings (friction material part), steel backing (metal part) and silencers.

Silencing principle: Brake noise is caused by friction and vibration between the friction pad and the brake disc. The intensity of the sound wave will change once from the friction lining to the steel back, and then change again from the steel back to the silencer. The layer-by-layer resistance and resonance avoidance play a role in reducing noise.

FRONTECH shock absorber features:

1. The thickness increases and the shock absorption effect is better.

2. Increase the glue layer and reduce resonance.

3.New generation of imported RSR rubber, better reducing the probability of noise.

FRONTECH brake pad features:

1. Add coating to effectively shorten the initial braking distance during the running-in process.

2. Copper-free formula to avoid harm to the environment and human health.

3. Lower dust and reduce brake disc wear.

4. Covers many mainstream new energy and hybrid models.

Currently, FRONTECH brake pads can be used in Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Audi Q5 E-Tron, Xpeng P7, NIO ES6/ES8, Lideal One, Volkswagen ID4 and other models. More parts numbers covering mainstream new energy vehicles will be launched one after another.

 Sustainable development, more environmentally friendly and greener

1. Why choose copper-free formula?

When the car is braking, the friction between the brake disc and the brake pad will generate a lot of heat. If it is not transferred out in time, the braking friction coefficient will decrease, affecting safety. Therefore, metal fibers (such as copper or steel fibers) are generally used in brake pad formulations to transfer heat.

However, copper, as a heavy metal, has serious harm to the environment and human health. For example, when heavy metal elements are inhaled into the human body, they can denature human proteins, cause lung infections, and affect the nervous system and digestive system. Copper-containing dust enters water bodies through rainwater and suspended particulate matter deposition, which will affect the survival of other organisms and destroy the ecological balance.

The FRONTECH brake pad series adopts a copper-free formula and does not contain lead, antimony and other heavy metal elements, ensuring the performance and quality of the brake pads while taking into account health and environmental protection to promote green travel.

2. What is powder adhesive?

To ensure the reliability of the braking system and ensure that the brake pads can work stably and provide excellent performance under various conditions, the adhesive between the steel backing of the brake pads and the friction material plays a very important role. Currently common adhesives are environmentally damaging or expensive.

Through innovative research and development, FRONTECH's powder adhesive technology ensures excellent adhesion and higher shear strength while achieving zero emission of harmful substances and reducing environmental pollution caused by the brake pad manufacturing process. Compared with organic solvent adhesives, the use of powder adhesives can reduce the emission of hazardous waste materials by 150 tons per year.
