ATE Ceramic brake pads provide clean, quiet, low-wear braking. Since the brake pads produce virtually no brake dust, they protect the gloss of the wheels and save owners the considerable effort required to clean high-quality alloy wheels.
This not only improves the looks of the wheels, but also helps retain their value. In addition, the innovative pad compound significantly improves braking comfort. Through the use of ATE Ceramic pads, after a brief run-in phase a transfer film consisting of very hard, wear-resistant carbides forms on the brake disc. This film markedly reduces wear and tear on the brake pads and brake discs.
Of course, no sacrifices are made in the area of safety, because it goes without saying that ATE Ceramic brake pads, like all other ATE replacement brake parts, comply with the ECE-R 90 regulation and meet driver expectations. Dynamic handling control systems remain fully operational. ATE Ceramic brake pads easily can be fitted during brake servicing in place of the standard brake pads; no conversion or modification is necessary.
The product portfolio of ATE Ceramic will be continuously expanded in future beyond the present new additions. Currently the portfolio covers more than 35 percent of the vehicles registered in Germany alone.
