Specifications
Materials
Enhanced Hybrid Technology formulations have a premium blend of friction materials. This supports:
- Optimal performance
- Improved pad wear and durability
- Increased stopping power during aggressive braking
Shim
The shims on EHT formulations promote quiet stopping in a wide variety of temperature ranges and vehicle platforms.
The shim has five layers, including:
- Clear epoxy coating
- Two layers of cold rolled steel
- Modified nitrile rubber
- Viscoelastic material
Electronic Wear Sensor
Electronic wear sensors are included in your EHT box if the application calls for it.
Brake Hardware
Depending on what the application calls for, you may find the following hardware in your EHT box:
- Abutment Clips
- Piston Clips
- Spreader Springs
- Anti-Rattle Clips
Testing
One Million Miles of Testing
We performed more than one million miles of on-road testing on Enhanced Hybrid Technology formulations. These tests were conducted across the following platforms:
- Domestic
- Import
- Light truck
- Fleet
These tests resulted in a brake pad with:
- 20 to 25 percent improved stopping power
- Reduced noise
- 35 percent wear reduction
Professional Grade Formulations
DELIVERS INDUSTRY-LEADING COVERAGE AND BRAKING PERFORMANCE.
Raybestos professional grade brake pads are offered in either ceramic or semi-metallic formulations and are guaranteed to match or improve on OE friction performance.
Offering excellent coverage for import and domestic applications, professional grade formulations extend the premium quality you expect from the Element3 brand to a wider range of vehicles.
Specifications
Materials
Professional grade formulations are made with application-specific ceramic or semi-metallic formulations.
- Semi-metallic applications provide quiet braking and a strong bite for OE-matched or better braking power.
- Ceramic applications deliver responsive braking that’s clean and silent.
All products are cured so that they are ready to install right out of the box.
Backing Plate
The backing plate is stamped or shaved depending on the application. This allows for proper movement of the pad within the caliper assembly and helps to reduce:
- Noise
- Premature wear
- Brake pulsation
Slots and Chambers
The slots and chamfers match OE design, which allows braking gasses to escape and helps reduce:
- Noise
- Vibration
- Harshness
Shims
Noise-dampening shims deliver quiet braking and excellent durability.
The shims are fitted to the pad with a spring-locked attachment, ensuring they stay in place for their entire service life.
Electronic Wear Sensors
Attached electronic wear sensors are included when the application calls for it.
