In brake pad manufacturing, the performance of friction materials directly determines braking safety and durability. At Bull Chemicals, we have verified through rigorous testing that Chopped Carbon Fiber is a game-changer in optimizing brake pad mixtures, mixes, friction materials, and formulas—outperforming traditional additives like brake pads Brass Fiber.

brake pads Carbon Fiber
Brake pads chopped carbon fiber enhances brake pad performance through three targeted mechanisms. Firstly, its exceptional tensile strength (minimum 3000 MPa) acts as a “structural skeleton” in brake pad mixtures, significantly reducing deformation under high-pressure braking. Secondly, with low thermal conductivity (10 to 15 W/m·K), it forms a thermal barrier in brake pad friction materials, maintaining a stable friction coefficient (0.35 to 0.45) even at 600°C, thus avoiding heat-induced performance decline. Thirdly, its wear-resistant properties lower the wear rate to ≤0.8 cm³/(N·m)×10⁻⁷, extending the service life of brake pads by 25% to 30% compared to mixes using only brass fiber.
The following table compares key technical parameters of our Chopped Carbon Fiber with traditional brass fiber in brake pad formulas:

For Bull Chemicals, Chopped Carbon Fiber is more than an additive for brake pads—it’s a core component that elevates overall performance. It optimizes every aspect of brake pad friction materials, mixes, and formulas, creating safer and longer-lasting braking solutions for manufacturers and end-users alike.
