High Performance Brake Pads For

Hydraulic Brake Fleet Applications

Uncompromising Performance, Outstanding Value

Today, many medium-duty truck fleets are exploring new ways

to better manage margins and overall cost without sacrificing

performance and quality. Formula Blue

disc pads from Bendix

Spicer Foundation Brake were developed to address this need.

Formula Blue medium-duty pads use only proven friction material

formulations that raise the bar on value and performance.

Available all the key industry-standard Friction Materials

Standards Institute (FMSI) styles, Formula Blue

pads easily meet the needs of medium-duty

vehicles on the road today.

Long-Wearing, Quiet-

Running Durability

Advanced engineering allows Formula Blue

medium-duty disc pads to provide you higher levels of

performance and cost-effectiveness. Two formulations of

friction materials – the 109 and 111 series products – cater to a

wide range of vehicle applications.

The 109 Series (Premium) friction material is recommended for

commercial vehicles where quiet operation is a key requirement. Our

Formula Blue 111 series (Heavy-Duty) friction material is suggested

for vocations where vehicles make repeated or significant sustained

braking applications. Both are proven to perform equal to or better

than competitive-brand Premium and Heavy-Duty pads.

FORMULABLUE

Thoroughly Tested, Proven

Performance

Two formulations of Formula Blue

friction products were compared

against competitive-brand brake pads geared toward the same

respective applications in three testing scenarios. The results con-

firm that Formula Blue

medium-duty disc pads feature equivalent to

superior performance versus competitive brands in terms of fade and

recovery, rotor and pad wear, and braking effectiveness.

Background of Analysis

The pad comparison and analysis method used, was jointly developed

by Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake LLC and Link Testing Laboratories

Inc. of Detroit.

Friction pad analysis was conducted on a dynamometer at Link

Testing Laboratories between April 2003 and February 2004.

AlliedSignal originally developed the “Hydraulic Pad Test UI-169-

Modified” in the 1980s. In the charts found on each of the next

few pages, brands “A, B and C” represent premium pad types, and

brands “X, Y and Z” represent heavy-duty pad types.

What you don’t see can make all the

difference.

Take a look at this cutaway of a Formula Blue

disc pad and

you’ll see something unique.

The hook shaped teeth, found only on the Formula Blue

medium-

duty disc pad design, creates a rock-solid connection between the

friction material and the backing plate. That’s a major difference

between Formula Blue

pads and the other materials available in

the market today... one that enhances and extends the durability and

performance life when it’s on your vehicle.

The long-lasting, hard-working construction of a Formula Blue

medium-duty disc pad helps to enhance the pad’s sheer strength and

keeps the friction material stabilized, in place and on the job.

The backing teeth “bite” into the friction material, forming a solid

mechanical adhesion between the plate and the friction material

that can stand up to the most demanding application environments

where bonded only friction fails due to separation.

Only the teeth – found exclusively on Formula Blue

medium-duty

disc pads – provide long life integration between the backing plate

and the friction material, binding the friction material to the plate for

the entire useful life of the pad.

Rotor and Pad Wear

The rotor wear and pad loss tests measures the difference in pad/

rotor thickness from the beginning to the end of the dynamometer

evaluation. Rotor thickness and pad loss were measured in inches,

and the best performers had the lower measurements in each test.

The Formula Blue

Medium-Duty 109 series premium pad proved

to be kind to rotors, producing rotor wear equal to or less than other

premium brands. The 111 series heavy-duty pad also performed

better than, or equal to, the other heavy-duty offerings tested.

And similar results were found in the pad loss test. The 109 series

pad performed extremely well in comparison to the premium

competitors tested, as did the 111 series compared to other heavy-

duty brands.

By optimizing pad and rotor wear, Formula Blue pads are able to

deliver the delicate balance of stopping performance and brake life

to lower the operating cost in the widest variety of hydraulic brake

applications.

Braking Effectiveness

Brake pad effectiveness was determined by measuring the ratio

between the pad-to-rotor output torque and the pressure applied

to the brake pedal. Traditionally, this is called the “coefficient of

friction.” The brake effectiveness ratio is summarized as an average

and a standard deviation of the three dynamometer effectiveness

test segments.

For hydraulic disc brakes, brake effectiveness should be a value

between 0 and 1 (the higher the better), with the typical range being

between 0.25 and 0.35. The ideal standard deviation score is zero.

The 109 series pad scored the highest in brake effectiveness

among the four competitors tested and the second-best in standard

deviation. Results for the 111 series were even more impressive.

The 111 series pad scored best in both brake effectiveness and

had the lowest deviation as compared to other brand-name heavy-

duty pads tested.

Fade and Recovery

During brake fade analysis, we tested to quantify the amount of

decrease in a lining’s braking torque as a function of temperature

and/or speed at a constant application force. The recovery test

assesses the ability of a brake lining to recover braking torque as

compared to the torque registered before the fade test.

In this analysis, the best performers have the least amount of fade

and achieve the torque values closest to 100 percent of the pre-test

values. Comparing the 109 series Formula Blue

pads against four

other premium-brand medium-duty pads, the results clearly favor

the Formula Blue

disc pad. The 109 series registered the lowest

fade number (43 percent) and the second-best recovery figure

(103 percent) among the pads tested.

The same analysis was performed with the heavy-duty 111 series

Formula Blue

pads and resulted in similar conclusions. The 111

series pad scored best in recovery (96 percent) and second best in

fade (23 percent) compared to three major brand competitors.

Fleets need brake pads that they can count on stop after stop;

Formula Blue delivers this peace of mind.
