Replace the disc brake canvas, note the material
Brake canvas are very important components of driving safety, since they are the first to come into contact with discs or drums to stop the vehicle. Because these components are so important than many manufacturers are making brake canvas with different brands and different materials. For more details, the following materials are often used by brake factories in the world, ranging from Nissin, Tokico, Akebono, Brembo, Aumo and others.

Basic Material Canvas Brake
Asbestos
This material are often used to
make brake canvas, because the price of basic materials are quite cheap and
good enough quality for the braking system. But this type of material is
harmful to the health of the human body, because it has a carcinogenic nature
when entering into the human body. Usually dust is mixed with air so it can be
easily inhaled by everyone, this happens when brake canvas are cleaned using
sandpaper, iron brush or wind compressor. And during the braking process will
also erode asbestos material from the brake canvas and make asbestos into dust.
The use of asbestos brake canvas
will be grip at the beginning of usage, after which the brake canvas will
harden because the resin are not strong hot, and canvas asbestos can only
survive at temperatures 250 degrees Celsius, more than that will cause lost
brake.
Non - Asbestos or Organic
This brake canvas uses organic
materials such as carbon and glass powder, many motor vehicle brake factories
that use this material as the original tribe. Non-asbestos brake canvas can
withstand up to 400 degrees Celsius, this is because there is a vermiculite
material that looks luminous on the surface of the brake canvas, its function
to release the heat on the braking system. The effect is in the braking system,
if the motorcycle with high-speed 80 km / h braking then the vehicle will be
more stable. And when the braking system is in wet conditions either because
the rain water or the vehicle has been washed, this brake canvas is more
comfortable because of the many pores on the brake canvas.
Another advantage of this brake
canvas does not cause sound, and soft material so as not to damage the disc or
drum disk. Location of deficiencies on this brake canvas that is easily
discharged when compared with canvas brakes made of metal and ceramic. Canvas
disc brakes made from organic material used for urban streets not for racing
competition.
Semi Organic Canvas
Semi-metal or semi-organic brake
canvas are a brake canvas blend of organic material and metal materials such as
iron powder, copper, aluminum and other metal powders. This type of brake
canvas has a good ability to cool disc and brake drum, so it is highly
recommended for the off-road world. In accordance with the terrain, this brake
canvas should be cleaned frequently because too much mud and dust is buried in
the brake canvas, the result will be noise.
Ceramic Brake Material Canvas
Carbon silicon and copper fibers
are the basic material of this canvas, in fact the ceramic brake canvas is an
improvement from the semi-brake canvas because the noise it generates are too
noisy. This canvas can survive to hot temperatures and has a little dust, but
the lack of ceramic brake canvas is not suitable for areas that have cold
temperatures. While age used more durable than the type of organic canvas and
semi-metal, but the price of this canvas is quite expensive.
Full Metal Brake Canvas
The last brake canvas is made from
full metal, the material used comes from metal powder and carbon. Excess canvas
of this type can survive optimally in any condition, heat or rain. Therefore,
the price is quite expensive, but there is a lack of discs or drum disk will be
damaged quickly because the brake canvas is tough. But you can look for the
solution by replacing the hard disk discs.
OK bro so long ago this article, do
