Our group
The performance choice
The brake division from CL started with Tanks brakes like AMX 30 and AMX 10, Airbus, Mirage F1, Helicopters like Tigers and Sikorski, TGV trains, high speed locomotives… Later, the passion of the Carbone Lorraine engineers permitted the developpement of a whole range of brakes pads for motorcycle. Since a fiew years, another range is about to be developed: the motorsport brakepads for racing cars (Rallye, Trackcircuit...).

The experience acquired on our aeronautic applications enables us to make materials for racing cars.
Our constant presence in racing keeps the performance of our products and our developement teams on the best performance level.
   
Sinter metal makes/gives you :  


GRIP

At the opposite to organic materials, the braking power of sinter metals doesn't decrease with the temperature !
- no need to change the pads to rediscover the inital feeling.
- no time waste for each braking: the drop of the organic products friction coefficient is imperceptible, and so you loose seconds without knowing it.

Sinter metal is produced at 1000°C, therefore it remains stable during the braking. Like metal, his hardness gives a very high coefficient of friction and an outstanding bite.

SECURITY BY ANY KIND OF WEATHER
Sinter metal brakes by every weather. It brakes the ice or the water film coat which covers the disc.

SECURITY ALL THE TIME
- Exceptional coupling of the material to his support, thanks to an efficient metal-metal bonding.
-The sinter metal doesn't burn.

TIME
The bedding in is very easy, you can do it yourself. Sinter metal can be used cold, at the difference to the organic materials which must be conditioned.

DE L'ARGENT
- less pads changing
- less assistance
- it saves the disc
- no material transfer
As sinter metal is harder than synthetic resin, lifetime is higher. It contains carbone, produced by Carbone Lorraine, which lubricates the pad-disc interface.
