PLATINUMSHIELD BROCHURE
ArvinMeritor, Inc. has released a new brochure detailing its new lineup of remanufactured brake shoes with PlatinumShield coating, which the company said provides industry-leading protection against corrosion and rust jacking.

The PlatinumShield coating resists micro-abrasions caused by the movement of the brake lining against the shoe table during normal use. ArvinMeritor is offering the reman shoes with the new technology at no additional cost over its previous reman product and it includes a threefold increase in warranty protection against rust jacking, three years or 300,000 miles.
