Brake Pads

Performance Friction Brake Pad Materials

All PFC pads are fused to the backing plate using the patented Ionic Fusion process. Ionic Fusion, unlike riveting or organically bonded processes, ensures that the friction material remains attached to the plate throughout the life of the pad. Riveting causes unnecessary loading of the friction in the riveted areas which can lead to spongy pedal, delamination or loss of brakes. In conjunction with Ionic Fusion, PFC incorporates its patented Mechanical Retention System on high load pad configurations. This helps ensure pad/backing plate integrity even under the most severe duty applications. 

PFC's experience developing pads for extremely high temperature applications in racing led to development of a patented Powder Coating that withstands temperatures that would destroy ordinary coatings. This coating, which is applied to every PFC pad, alleviates the danger of painted pads burning under heavy use causing brake fires and seal damage.

All PFC pads are made race-ready with a patented laser burnishing process that minimizes brake bedding. Unlike other manufacturers that add special coatings to prepare pads for burnishing, PFC's laser preheats and thermally conditions the pad surface. This creates a pad that breaks in without the lack of friction commonly associated with new "green" pads. 

Brake Pad Materials

93 Compound

• Super High Torque
• Consistent Pedal Feel 
• Extended Pad Life At Severe Temperatures
• Rotor Friendly
• Requires Pedal Finesse

Developed after the 83 compound. Improvements include: better release characteristic; great improvement for trailing into a corner or modulation at threshold braking; kinder to disc; polishes disc smooth even under severe conditions. Racers claim three times the disc life. Pad life of the 93 compound is slightly better than 83. 93 comes on quicker and has a flatter torque curve - a plus in some applications. But, be careful! Without finesse you can over- slow the car in a hurry. Check out 90 or 83 if you are over-slowing the car. When it comes to ultimate performance with finesse, this pad is second to none.

90 Compound 

• Slightly Lower Torque Than 93

• Longer Wear Under Severe Conditions

• Extremely Rotor Friendly

• Excellent Pedal Feel

• Good All Around Race Pad

90 was developed at the same time as 93 and is very similar with lower torque output. It also has a higher wear rate under super severe service. Recommended and preferred for Asphalt Late Model Stocks, Pro Stock and Limited Late Model type race cars. Allowing three times the pad and rotor life, ultimate torque close to 93. This compound teaches drivers braking finesse and
pedal feel. Its modulation characteristics also make it forgiving. Recommended by drivers of Winston Cup. Ideal combination with 93 on the front. Highly recommended as a general purpose race pad.

83 Compound 

• Super High torque

• Firm Pedal Feel

• High To Severe Temperature Range

• Long Wear

• Requires Finesse

If you don’t know about the credentials of this pad material, welcome to racing ! This pad has proven itself as a superb performer in pavement applications. Aggressive and durable in the high temperature range, the 83 compound will help you get to the winner’s circle. Super high torque. Firm pedal feel. Requires finesse. Outstanding wear characteristics under severe conditions. The most popular choice of racers worldwide. A winner with  Winston Cup, Busch and Late Models.

80 Compound 

• Lowest Friction Of Any PFC Pad

• Consistent Pedal Feel

• Medium To High Temperature Range

• Long Wear

Subtle and a favorite for many applications where pedal modulation is difficult. It is extremely durable when used in severe conditions, while providing excellent rotor life and consistent wet / dry friction. 80 has been used with great success by top teams worldwide.
