Under full load, a brake system has to convert enormous kinetic energy into heat repeatedly without losing performance — a phenomenon known as brake fade. The friction material, its formulation and its validation determine how consistently and safely a vehicle stops.

HANN brake friction materials are engineered and validated with organic, semi-metallic and ceramic compounds for confident, fade-free braking under full load. Every batch is checked for noise, wear and braking force to meet the safety expectations of heavy commercial vehicles.
