PAGID Racing compounds have a very high content of non-ferrous (ceramic) materials. All PAGID Racing compounds are designed to minimize wear of the pad rotor system, while maintaining optimum bite, brake modulation and pedal feel. All friction compounds meet or surpass all current ecological standards of the automotive industry.

  • SUPERIOR THERMAL INSULATION
    AND HIGHER HEAT RESISTANCE
  • LOW HEAT CONDUCTIVITY
  • REDUCTION OF HEAT TRANSFER TO CALIPER
  • PREVENTION OF FLUID BOILING

PAGID RACING STEEL BACKING PLATE DESIGN

PAGID RACING STEEL BACKING PLATE DESIGN

PAGID Racing uses dual retention systems, with an adhesive bond and a patented mechanical system. The mechanical system consists of brass studs that are welded directly to the backplate to ensure a positive retention between pad compound and the backplate. These brass studs are softer than the brake disc (rotor) and wear away as the pad is consumed causing no damage to the disc.

  • UNIQUE AND PATENTED SYSTEM
  • FRICTION MATERIAL IS FIXED TO THE BACKPLATE
  • NO DELAMINATION FROM THE STEEL BACKING PLATE
  • HIGH TECH AND INNOVATION FOR YOUR VEHICLE

BEDDING

WHY BEDDING?

To align the pad surface with the brake disc (rotor) surface and ensure full contact.

To transfer a layer of friction material onto the brake disc (rotor) faces to achieve maximum performance.

To burn out the volatile elements in the friction compound in order to have the initial (green) fade occur during bedding and not during the race.

If pads are not bedded properly according to the above mentioned sequence, the brake system will not achieve its maximum friction performance, wear behavior and pedal feel. Improper bedding can also lead to judder and vibration.

Unlike discs, pads do not require cooling down post-bedding for optimal performance/longevity.

Bedding In

RECOMMENDED ON VEHICLE BEDDING IN PROCEDURE

Breaking-in

Creating a perfect contact-pattern between rotor and brake pad surface.

10 stops with mid pressure and low temperature from 150 km/h (90 MPH) to approximately 80 km/h (50 MPH).

Heating-up

Warm up in order to initiate some core heat in the whole brake system.

A sequence of 5 stops with medium to high pressure from 180 km/h (112 MPH) to approximately 60 km/h (40 MPH) with maximum acceleration between the stops.

Recovery Stops

3 to 5 stops with mid pressure from 150 km/h (90 MPH) to approximately 80 km/h (50 MPH).

BEDDING IN SERVICE

Our racing brake pads are also available pre-bedded
“ready to race”. Please ask your local dealer for our brake pads pre-bedded which are available for selected products.

Using pre bedded parts is always recommended, as they are run in a computer-controlled environment and can therefore deliver perfect performance for a very reasonable cost. Keep in mind every km driving a race car is expensive!
