Brake Pads

RSL 1:  PAGID RSL1 racing compounds are complex formulations with very high content of ceramic materials. The difference to competitors metallic compounds is the superior thermal insulation and the higher heat resistance of ceramic compared to iron. Ceramic has a very low heat conductivity, so less brake disc temperature goes through the pad to the caliper. Pagid have measured up to 140 degrees farenheit difference in temperature compared to competitor pads. RST 1: PAGID RST1 High average friction, aggressive in stop behavior with instant pedal response and release, consistently firm pedal at all temperatures, fade resistant at highest disc temperatures.  High friction compound with very good initial bite and a progressive torque curve. Very fade resistant.  Suitable for applications with high down-force and / or very high grip.  RST 3: RST 3 is a medium-high friction metal-ceramic compound containing steel fibers and is therefore the perfect complement of the RST product family. It captivates by its low heat conductivity. Popular applications of the RST 3 compound include rally tarmac and gravel, GT cars, Touring cars and prototype circuit racing, formula cars and club racing. Wide range of applications due to it‘s combination of bite, friction and controllability.   Pagid RSL brake pads were developed to comply with the latest requirements in endurance racing and to accord to ecological standards in the automotive industry. They feature excellent pad wear under endurance conditions, excellent disc life, are less aggressive than RST pads giving best possible brake balance, modulation and consistency of friction under endurance conditions.

RSC 1:  **For Ceramic Rotor ONLY**  RSC1 The first series in the RSC compound.  A good street/track compromise.  Sprint race and track day compound for all known types of Ceramic brake discs. This friction material features an ideal combination of cold friction, fade resistance and low thermal oxidation of the disc surface fibers.  Pagid's RSC (RSC-1) racing compound was specifically developed for use for the newest ceramic disc applications from Porsche. Designed for track days and shorter sprint-type races, the RSC-1 offers excellent cold friction, fade resistance and low thermal oxidation of the ceramic disc fibers.

RT RE10: RE10 is the ultimate endurance race compound offering a balance of excellent stopping power, low thermal conductivity, extremely low pad and disc wear. Utilizing the latest friction material technology, RE10 offers consistent performance under the most demanding of environments. Typical Applications: Professional Endurance Racing, Club Racing, and HPDE on high demand brake platforms RACE-ONLY PAD Running a "racing use only" pad on the street could produce excessive noise and dust. Disc wear could be accelerated if driven at cold temperatures or used in the incorrect temperature range. Racing pads are designed to work in specific temperature ranges so it is important to choose the desired compound for the correct environment the vehicle will be used in. Pad Compounds are run on a brake dynamometer over multiple brake applications (stops) to test the materials in a controlled environment for the most accurate data. Wear rates and temperatures can be influenced by car setup, grip levels, track layout/configuration and many other variables.

PFC 08 COMPOUND One of PFC's most popular compounds which came to fame in Endurance Sports Car and GT racing due to its performance in applications where smooth initial bite is a must. PFC 08 has a slight friction rise with temperature, excellent release and modulation characteristics. Despite its considerable performance, PFC 08 has the lowest wear rate of all PFC compounds and can easily match the wear characteristics of competitors' materials but with much higher bite and more consistent performance across a broad temperature range.

Nevertheless, the friction value is enough for cars without power-assisted brake system and ensures comfortable low effort on the brake pedal. Constant temperatures up to 600°C (1,100°F) are possible. This combination of friction value, fading stability and low wear rates on pads and discs (rotors) is unmatched. Due to its excellent release characteristics and controllability PAGID endurance materials are also often used for sprint races. Pagid RS29 with a very similar friction coefficient to RS19 with improvements in initial bite offering quicker response and slightly more temperature stable at the upper levels of the temperature range. Developments in raw material selection and compounding have resulted in improvements also in pedal feel and feedback, helping with modulation particularly on lighter applications. This material provides very good levels of performance and response at all temperature levels, only slight temperature inputs are required to bring the pad up to its optimum performance level. Another favourite with endurance racers having won many classes at all major endurance events, such as Le-Mans, Daytona, Spa, Nurburgring, etc. Due to the exceptional pad life and very low wear on brake discs it has been possible to run 24 hours without a change of pads or discs. Able to withstand slightly higher disc temperatures than RS19, this has proved more suitable for applications running very high disc temperatures. Although designed primarily for endurance racing, because of the consistent levels of performance and user friendliness many competitors use this material successfully for sprint and short distance races also. RS29 has also found favour in the growing track day market due to the level of control, good cold performance, long life and low disc wear.
