The high temperature resistance of ceramic brake pads provides benefits in many situations, primarily where the braking system is subject to high temperatures.
High performance driving:
Ceramic brake pads perform well under high overall performance use conditions, including heavy acceleration, deceleration and repeated hard braking. They can handle the intense heat generated during active driving or track use without brake fade.
Mountain terrain:
Driving in hilly or mountainous areas often requires frequent braking, primarily due to increased heat inside the brakes. Ceramic brake pads have the ability to handle high temperatures, making them ideal for maintaining proper overall performance on descents and ascents.
Towing and heavy load conditions:
The brakes of a vehicle towing a trailer or carrying heavy loads are subject to greater stress. Ceramic brake pads are very useful in these situations as they can dissipate the extra heat generated during certain stages of the braking process without affecting performance.
City driving vs. stop-and-go traffic:
In urban environments with a lot of traffic, drivers are often in a stop-before-go state, which puts pressure on the brakes. Ceramic brake pads remain functional under these conditions, providing reliable performance and reducing the risk of brake fade.
Emergency braking situation:
During emergency braking, the brake generates a lot of heat due to excessive deceleration. Ceramic brake pads can withstand this heat, ensuring the brakes remain responsive and effective in critical situations.
Driving in summer or hot weather:
In warm climate areas or in summer, the ambient temperature will accelerate the heating inside the brake. Ceramic brake pads help maintain braking in these conditions.
