Ceramic-Formula Disc Brake Pad
Marathon Brake Systems has developed a disc brake pad for heavy-duty truck and transit vehicle air brake systems. The pad is composed of ceramic fibers and brass chips and helps control brake noise and dusting, said the company.

The brake pad features a secure-lock backing plate designed to assure lining-to-plate attachment. The formula also eliminates the poor stopping power that can result when metallic brake pads are cold, said the company.
