Mintex are the worlds largest manufacturer of high performance
friction products, for applications from Rally to Circuit
to Road use.
Mintex is one of the world leaders in both range and quality
when it comes to brake pad friction.
The Mintex brand is the most famous when it comes to motorsport.
Through intense Research and Development Mintex materials
cater not only for Original Equipment and Aftermarket needs
but at the other extreme for competition purposes. It is
from motorsport that the latest family of Mintex materials
have been developed
Known as C-Tech, these materials cover a whole spectrum
of vehicles from a typical small hot hatchback for normal
day to day use, through to a fully race prepared 700 bhp
racing machine.
M1144 is the material for fast road use as well as light
competition such as karting, hill climb and single seater
racing cars.
- M1144 has the ability to work from cold, which gives
the user the confidence of a standard material on the
first application of the brakes. The benefit of M1144
is experienced as the temperature within the brakes starts
to increase.
- M1144 is stable and consistent through to 450c where
a standard material at this temperature will most certainly
start to fade. The bedding in procedure for M1144 is the
same as any standard material i.e. steady braking for
the first 50 miles, avoiding emergency stops. All M1144
pads are supplied with fully branded C-Tech anti noise
shims and a C-Tech sticker.
M1155 is purely designed for competition use and under
no circumstances should be used for normal road applications.
Applications such as Group A and N rally cars and circuit
saloons best suit this material.
- M1155 has a similar friction level to M1144 but remains
consistent to a maximum operating temperature of 550-600c.
Like M1144 there are no special bedding in procedures
for M1155.
M1166 is again purely competition use only and is suitable
for rally and saloon/sports car endurance racing
- The friction level is higher than that of M1155 but
remains consistent to temperatures of 700c. Again no special
bedding in procedure is required.
