Carbotech Performance Brakes™ started in 1996. In the beginning, we thought like everybody else and made brake compounds out of carbon & iron. The problem with carbon & iron is that when it heats up it forms carbide. Carbide is used in cutting tools, so imagine what that does to your rotors. Along with the fact that those compounds tear up rotors, they also produce very corrosive brake dust. While our competition still uses carbon & iron as the main ingredients in their compounds, Carbotech started an entire new philosophy eight years ago.
Carbotech Performance Brakes™, the world leader in Ceramic Kevlar friction materials™. Carbotech builds brake pads out of Ceramic Kevlar, Kevlar, and Carbon for street, autocross and racing applications. Carbotech is the only brake pad manufacturer in the world with a complete line of Ceramic Kevlar compounds for street, autocross, and track use. Carbotech-Ceramic Kevlar™ compounds are known for their unsurpassed release & modulation, while maintaining very consistent torque control characteristics. Carbotech brake pads are extremely rotor friendly and contain non-corrosive brake dust, that’s something that has been unmatched by any other brake pad in the industry.
