Why do brake pad prices vary so much?

When we buy brake pads, we often compare their prices, but the same product, size, why there is such a big gap. Today we will talk about the reasons for the large price difference of brake pads.

We all know that brake pads are an important part of equipment braking, and the function of our brake pads is to stop the movement of the equipment. His principle is to convert kinetic energy into heat energy through the friction between the brake pads and the brake, and dissipate it into the air. When the heat dissipation effect is not fast enough to generate heat, a lot of heat will accumulate on the surface of the brake pads, but in order for the brake pads to be used normally at high temperatures, the factory often adds high temperature resistant materials, such as high-purity graphite, Heat-resistant resin, high-purity barium sulfate and other materials, and good brake pads must also be noise-free and have a high degree of comfort, so the cost of good brake pads has risen sharply.

In order to gain an advantage in price, poor brake pads often cut corners, making the braking time of the equipment longer and the braking distance longer, which is often a precursor to accidents. And he is noisy and not comfortable.

Therefore, when we choose brake pads, we not only look at his price, but also his brand. Often big brands pay great attention to the quality and effect of brake pads.
