Optimal safety and comfort with Blue Print brake pads

Brakes work through the slow application of pressure on the brake pad by a caliper, which causes the friction material of the pad to press into the spinning brake disc, slowing movement to a stop.

This action creates a lot of thermal energy, for example, when braking at 100km/h, this friction can generate enough heat to boil two litres of water in just three seconds.

Blue Print provides a complete range of over 1,300 brake pad sets for popular Asian and European vehicle applications.

Each brake pad set features high shear strength, excellent stability-friction coefficient, low noise levels and minimum vibration – providing a secure feeling for the driver as braking is more progressive and comfortable.

A decisive factor for optimal brake pad quality is the individual components which form each pad. Combining these elements provides reliability and safety.

1. Friction Material: Specifically matched to a particular vehicle type and model.

2. Intermediate Layer: Optimised compressibility reduces heat transfer.

3. Adhesive: High shear strength; bonds friction material to the pad carrier.

4. Backing Plate: High material strength.

5. Shim: Reduces brake noise and fitted to the steel backing plate to dampen vibrations between the pad and caliper
