Brake pads are car components that grip the rotors to slow or stop the car. There are different types of brake pads. Non-metallic or organic brake pads are used for daily driving situations that do not have heavy braking demands. They are the softest kinds of brake pads made of rubber, cellulose, glasses, and a bit of metal. Compared to other brake pads, they wear more easily and are typically replaced more often.
Semi-metallic brake pads are made of a combination of synthetics and metal. These are the most common pads for cars currently being produced. Compared to organic brake pads, they are more durable and resistant to heat, making them perfect for performance cars and large vehicles. These pads are designed for heavy braking situations.
The most expensive and highest quality pads are ceramic pads. These are typically used by supercars and made from a combination of clay and ceramics. The high cost of these pads is due to the expense of the manufacturing process. These pads have superior performance in high temperatures and can recover from continuous hard braking.
