Product Introduction

Surface Transforms has developed unique patented next-generation Carbon-Ceramic Technology that provides the ultimate braking performance for road and track.
Our material is a next-generation Carbon Fibre Reinforced Ceramic (CFRC) which is produced by Surface Transforms’ proprietary processes, transforming Carbon-Carbon into our Carbon-Silicon Carbide (CSiC) ceramic.

While conventional carbon-ceramic brake discs use discontinuous (chopped) carbon fibre, ST interweaves continuous carbon fibre to form a 3D matrix, producing a stronger and more durable product with 3x the heat conductivity compared to our competitors; this reduces the brake system operating temperature, resulting in increased life of components with the same brake performance.

Here’s seven reasons why you need this technology on your vehicle:
◎Weight savings of up to 70% compared to iron brakes (typically 20kg of unsprung weight)
◎Improved handling and driveability
◎Improved NVH (less noise, vibration and harshness)
◎Improved performance (in both wet and dry conditions)
◎Reduced brake wear – giving increased life
◎Corrosion Free
◎Outstanding performance, even from cold

WARNING-THE CORRECT WAY TO BED-IN YOUR CCST BRAKE DISCS

Only carry out the following procedure where it is safe and legal to do so. Be aware that sudden braking is a severe danger to yourself and other traffic.

Step 1: Gentle Stops (to bed the pad and disc geometry)
20 normal stops from 30 mph (50 kph) to a complete stop with light pedal pressure.

Step 2: Medium Stops (to increase the pad temperature above 400°C to condition the pad)
20 medium stops from 75 mph (120 kph) to 25 mph (40 kph) at about 0.4-0.5 g.

Step 3: Heavier Stops (to fade the pad and outgas)
10 heavier stops from 77 mph (125 kph) to 25 mph (40kph) at about 0.6 g.
Aim to do 4 stops per minute.

Step 4: Controlled cool down (to control the cool down of the brake)
Cool the brake to below 100°C by driving at around 50 mph (80 kph) without braking for around 15 minutes.

This bedding procedure should ensure correct interaction of the braking couple (pad and disc) and give optimal performance of your CCST brakes as well as preventing damage to the disc through inefficient braking.
