Each Monroe Dynamics semi-metallic brake pad features an application-specific friction material developed and tested to meet the vehicle’s unique operating requirements. In addition, these friction materials are secured to the backing plate with an OE constant-pressure manufacturing process called positive molding to provide a better bond and denser friction material, resulting in less resin versus conventional flash-molded products, the maker added. This, in turn, reduces pedal fade and helps ensure better stopping performance, the company noted. For more information, visit www.MonroeBrakes.com.
