DFC Presents: Different Brake Pad Friction Formulations

DFC Friction Friday

Dino Crescentini and Daniel Biezonsky get into the specifics of friction formulation that are not apparent to the naked eye. Competitors view brake pads as being the same, they’ll see one shape and offer one formulation across a wide variety of vehicles. At DFC we do things a lot differently!

We aim to get the brake system with a DFC product feeling like it did when you drove it off the showroom floor. We make sure the friction formulation is very specific to the use case of the vehicle its intended for. That is the only way to restore the braking system to its optimum form.

DFC 5000 Advanced Brake Pads

With the Dynamic Friction Company, you can have a brake pad that looks identical to any competitor–but is entirely different. The video shows two pads that look exactly alike, yet have hidden differences that make them superior in terms of performance. At DFC, we know that although they have the same shapes, their characteristics are completely different – greatly surpassing those of competitors’ products for cars like the BMW X3 SUV, Z4 coupe or turbocharged 330ci Coupe and other applications. Even with the same backing plate number, friction code number and shape, each pad is designed to best suit your vehicle.

DFC Euro 5000 Ceramic Brake Pads

DFC’s 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are a direct OEM replacement for many European applications, but we noticed an opportunity to improve upon the OEM design. The issue with European applications is that the OEM brake pads tend to leave the wheels incredibly dusty. However, DFC’s innovative design helps to reduce the amount of brake dust that is produced, keeping your wheels looking clean and new. That’s why we created the DFC Euro 5000 Ceramic Brake Pads, your go to option for European applications.

We put the DFC Ultimate Duty Performance Pads up against the OEM Pads in 10 panic stops from 60 to zero. We were looking for a couple important indicators: stopping distance and brake fade.
