Brakealloy: the copper-free solution

Recent environmental legislation in the federal states of California and Washington (USA) has called into question the role of copper powder in brake pads.

With no other direct substitutes available, an investigation into new materials and formulations has been necessary.

Brakealloy is part of a broader research effort aimed at developing copper-free brake pads for the automotive sector. The powder has been developed after a multi-year research and development program in collaboration with brake pad manufacturers and high-profile research centers.
