How Do PAGID’S Formulations Differ From Other Manufacturers Product?
PAGID racing compounds are complex formulations with very high content of ceramic materials. All Pagid materials are asbestos free. The difference to competitor’s ‘metallic’ compounds is the superior thermal insulation and the higher heat resistance of ceramic compared to iron. Ceramic has, to the contrary of iron, very low heat conductivity. Consequently less disc (rotor) temperature goes through the pad into the caliper. We measured up to 60°C (140°F) less caliper temperatures with PAGID pads vs competitor’s pads. This is very crucial when it comes to brake fluid boiling. PAGID friction compounds, especially the color-coded yellow endurance materials, have a very low wear rate and are extremely discs friendly. This fact is proven by numerous race wins in 24 hour races world-wide. Brake modulation and pedal feel with PAGID pads are excellent. Consequently it is not only less likely to get (tire) flat spots but also drivability is better. PAGID materials are very linear as far as rubbi
