Heavy Duty
pads box

Designed for heavier vehicles with larger brake systems, DFC Heavy‐Duty Brake Pads deliver exceptional braking performance in harsh conditions. DFC Heavy‐Duty brake pads are exclusively engineered and formulated to withstand extreme heat, heavy duty operation, frequent stopping, or towing.

100% POST CURED AND SCORCHED
Cured & Scorched

After the compound is pressed onto the backing plate, each DFC Brake Pad is 100% post cured to ensure stable friction performance. Each pad is then scorched to remove uncured bonding agents to minimize the need for initial break-in period and increase stopping power from the initial stop

UNDERLAYER
Underlayer
  • Promotes better friction to plate adhesion, minimizing noise.
  • Acts as a thermal barrier by minimizing the heat transfer from the pad into the caliper, reducing the possibility of fluid boil.

Wheel Cleanliness

Wheel Cleanliness: Measures degree to which pads keep wheels looking clean and addresses customers need to have dust free wheels.
10 = Wheels are spotless.
1 = Wheels are unreasonably dusty.
Ease Of Hand Washing

Ease of Hand Washing: Measures ease of which stains / dirt from disc pads can be removed by normal washing methods, addresses brake installer concerns about removing residue brake dust from hands.
10 = Stains wash off easily.
1 = Almost impossible to wash hands clean.
Brake Noise

Brake Noise: Measures degree to which pads cause brake noise - addresses customer’s need for quiet braking.
10 = Brakes are noiseless.
1 = Brakes are unreasonably noisy.
Rotor Life

Rotor Life: Measures expected life of rotors prior to replacement - addresses customers need for reasonable rotor life.
10 = Longer life than any person would keep vehicle.
1 = Excessive immediate wear.
Pad Life

Pad Life: Measures expected life of pads prior to replacement - addresses customers need for reasonable pad life.
10 = More than 100,000 km.
1 = Less than 5,000 km.
Operatiing Friction Level

Operating Friction Level (Long Term Pedal Feel): Measures typical friction level for bulk of working life of pad, addresses customers need for good pedal feel.
10 = High performance (feels great).
1 = Low performance (too much effort).
Green Friction Level

Green Friction Level (Initial Pedal Feel): Measures initial friction level of pads when first installed on vehicle - addresses customers need for good pedal feel.
10 = High performance (feels great).
1 = Poor performance (to much effort).
Cold µ Reduction

Cold Reduction (Effectiveness): Measures variation in friction level from the Operating Friction Level when pads are cold - addresses customers need for pedal feel to be consistent.
10 = Exactly same as Operating Friction Level.
1 = Will not stop when cold.
High Speed µ Reduction

High Speed Reduction (Stopping): Measures variation in friction level from the Operating Friction Level when stopping at high speeds - addresses customers need for consistent pedal feel.
10 = Exactly same as Operating Friction Level.
1 = Measurably lower.
Rotor Scoring

Rotor Scoring: Measures degree to which pads wear grooves and ridges on rotor surface - addresses customers need for even rotor wear.
10 = Mirror, even like finish.
1 = Very rough, badly scored finish.
Fade

Fade (Repeated Stops): Measures decrease in friction over repeated heavy-duty stops as temperature increases - addresses customers need for consistent pedal feel.
10 = Friction does not change at all.
1 = Friction decreases to dangerously low level.
In Stop Fade

In Stop Fade (Single Stop): Measures decrease in friction during a single stop - addresses customers need for consistent pedal feel.
10 = Friction does not change at all.
1 = Friction decreases to dangerously low level.
