SUPERIOR BRAKING PERFORMANCE

OP brake pads offer high performance and long lifespan, thanks to high-quality, eco-friendly friction materials that are free of heavy metals. Each compound is designed to suit the specific type of vehicle, ensuring safety, efficiency, and quiet operation.

A NEW ERA OF ADVANCED OERFORMANCE FOR EVERY VEHICLE

INNOVATION MEETS PRECISION FOR ADVANCED BRAKING PERFORMANCE

Braking force varies depending on factors such as weight, engine size, usage, and axle configuration, all of which influence the behavior of the braking system. OP brake pads are developed with four specific compounds, each optimised for different braking technologies and vehicle types. Every formulation is the result of an in-depth analysis of vehicle requirements, ensuring safety, efficiency, and reliability.

1 - BRAKE DISC ADAPTATION BASE

2 - FRICTION MATERIAL
Developed with specific compounds for each application

3 - ADHESION BASE

Ensures the adhesion of the friction material to the metal backing and absorbs the mechanical and thermal stresses generated during braking.

4 - ADHESIVE
High-resistance resin, designed to ensure stability and adhesion even under thermal and mechanical stress.

5 - METAL BACKING
The backing plate is finished with micro-spheres (Shot Blasting) for a uniform surface, while the automated electrostatic painting ensures a consistent coating of 0.05-0.10 mm.

Image

6 - ANTI-VIBRATION AND ANTI-NOISE LAYER
Each brake pad is equipped with double anti-vibration plates for optimal noise and comfort control. The SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE, ELECTRIC POWER, and ENDURANCE BRAKE versions use an anti-vibration layer made of NBR rubber and steel, ensuring high resistance and acoustic damping.

The SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE PLUS version features an advanced multi-layer anti-vibration layer for maximum efficiency in noise and vibration reduction.

B - NBR (Nitrile Rubber)

C - Cold-rolled steel

D - NBR (Nitrile Rubber)

E - Adhesive

F - Protective Paper

 

 

7 - STAINLESS STEEL PROTECTION LAYER

Some brake pads feature an additional anti-vibration layer made of stainless steel, which serves a structural function, evenly distributing the applied forces and helping to dissipate the heat generated during braking.

TOTAL CONTROL
100% TESTED QUALITY

 

the brake pads undergo rigorous testing both on the dynamometer, including the AK Master and SAE tests, and on the road to guarantee reliable behavior in all real-world driving situations.

COEFFICIENT FRICTION TEST
Verifies friction under real conditions and maximum stress situations, including wet conditions

THERMAL FADING TEST
Assesses performance under high thermal stress, both at high and low temperatures.

WEAR TEST
Measures the durability and uniform wear of the brake pad

NVH TEST (noise and vibrations)
Detects any acoustic anomalies during braking to minimise noise and vibration.

RESISTANCE TEST
Checks structural integrity (shear and compression)

 

CERTIFIED SAFETY
MAXIMUM RELIABILITY AND PERFORMANCE WITH EVERY BRAKE

 

The ECE R90 test, applied to OP brake pads, certifies that the product meets the safety and performance requirements established by European regulations for aftermarket parts.
