Truck Brake Pads NAO (Non Asbestos Organic) Mixture

Introduction to Truck Brake Pads with NAO (Non-Asbestos Organic) Mixture

NAO brake pads are advanced friction materials designed for heavy-duty truck braking systems. They utilize a Non-Asbestos Organic (NAO) mixture, combining synthetic resins, ceramic fibers, metal particles, and organic modifiers to achieve optimal performance while adhering to environmental and safety standards. Below is a detailed technical overview, advantages, and storage guidelines for this innovative brake pad formula.


Technical Parameters of NAO brake pads mixture

Key Advantages of NAO Brake Pads

  1. Enhanced Safety and Durability
    • NAO mixtures provide stable friction performance even under extreme temperatures, reducing the risk of brake fade during prolonged use .
    • Low metallic content minimizes damage to brake discs and drums, extending component lifespan .
  2. Environmental Compliance
    • Free from asbestos and heavy metals, aligning with global regulations (e.g., REACH, RoHS) .
  3. Superior Comfort
    • Optimized brake pads friction materials reduce vibration and noise (e.g., “squeal” or “judder”) through advanced damping technologies .
  4. Versatility
    • Compatible with trucks from brands like Volvo, MAN, Scania, and Mercedes-Benz .

Storage and Packaging

  • Packaging:
    • Sealed moisture-proof bags + reinforced cartons with palletized bulk shipping .
    • Labels include part numbers (e.g., WVA29087, 29162) and compliance certifications (IATF16949, E-mark) .
  • Storage Conditions:
    • Temperature: 10–30°C
    • Humidity: ≤60%
    • Avoid direct sunlight and corrosive environments .

Applications of NAO brake pads mixes

NAO brake pads formula is ideal for:

  • Heavy-duty trucks (e.g., Volvo TGA, MAN TGX, Scania) .
  • Trailers and buses requiring high-load braking systems .
  • Environments demanding low dust and minimal rotor wear .
