NUCAP Announces New Back Plates To Solve An O.E. Braking Challenge

NUCAP Announces New Back Plates To Solve An O.E. Braking Challenge

The back plates will be manufactured at NUCAP's own facility in Shanghai, China.

NUCAP has announced its latest back-plate project win involving FineBlankPlus with stepped-chamfer and NRS mechanical attachment for the North American FORD Transit platform. This is a result of NUCAP providing a thermally-resistant mechanical attachment solution capable of lasting across the brake pad life-time. The back-plates will be manufactured at NUCAP’s own facility in Shanghai, China.

“The brake pad environment is a harsh one, with elevated temperatures that will degrade adhesives and paints. Adhesives are simply not adequate for sustained attachment integrity between the friction and the back-plate,” said Parimal Mody, Global VP of Technology, Sales and Business Development at NUCAP. “This is a necessary and sufficient step to ensure safe brake pads across the life of the vehicle. Simply put, if an OE application has NRS – necessitated by fundamental system design considerations – then all service pads to follow must have the same or equivalent mechanical attachment.”

GALVANIZED NRS SAFE is a patented process for the surface modification of disc brake backing plates, adding a consistent matrix of raised steel hooks that facilitate a mechanical bond between galvanized disc brake plate and friction materials, NUCAP says.

According to NUCAP, NRS is often called “the hidden benefit,” essentially invisible on a finished brake pad while delivering brake products that are:

• Safe
• Quiet
• Green
• Longer Lasting
