TRW® W0133-1922198-TRW - Rear Parking Brake Pads

TRW's developers have come up with a way for you to get the very best from front or rear brake pad replacement. It’s called COTEC. This advanced silicate coating is applied to the friction material of replacement brake pads, resulting in an improved contact between the brake disc and pad. TRW COTEC brake pads can stop vehicles up to seven metres quicker than other premium brake pads during the first few stops following a pad change (known as the bedding-in period). This innovative technology means that TRW out-perform all major competitors during the bedding-in period of the pad, when the friction co-efficient is lower than usual. Because it improves safety from the moment the driver leaves the garage, we’ve made the decision to coat most of brake pads with COTEC. Over 90% of the brake pads that TRW sells in Europe, have already been COTEC coated.

TRW understand the importance of friction material in front and rear brake pads. Making the friction material compound in-house allows us to find the perfect combination of raw materials from rubber to graphite, generating the safest brake pad performance across all conditions. Scorching techniques heat the pads to 600-700oC, which helps to reduce bedding-in time and initial fading. Automatic moulding presses allow us to use deep moulding technology, which produces a more consistent density and porosity. This will give drivers that leave the garage with replacement brake pads fitted to their vehicles more comfortable journeys because it minimises the amount of judder and noise.

Every element of aftermarket brake pads is tested multiple times, including those crucial back plates, which carry the friction material. To prevent rust from developing on the back plate TRW uses a powder coating, and the specialist design from TRW helps the brake pad to resist high shear strengths as well as hot temperatures. With all the advanced manufacturing and testing that people do at TRW, brand's can guarantee brake parts, but TRW's service is about so much more than that. When you need replacement brake pads you can call on us to provide a product that matches your precise requirements and comes with brand's specialist knowledge and experience. We’ll give you all the fitting accessories required to achieve a fast fit, and 36-month, 31,068-mile (50,000km) warranty will add value to your business, as well as bringing peace of mind to your customers.

We all have a duty to protect the environment, so we’ve enhanced yet further the way TRW manufactures brake pads. Using a highly advanced heat plate scorching system rather than traditional flame scorching, TRW saves energy and produce less CO2 emissions – a practice which is today an original equipment (OE) standard. TRW also introduced the first environmentally-friendly brake pad programme for passenger cars in Europe, which means TRW never uses ingredients and materials like, lead, mercury, cadmium, antimony, brass or molybdenum. As the leading braking systems manufacturer in the global aftermarket TRW has the energy, passion and dedication to make sure brand's products provide a real difference. Constantly trying to improve and grow brand's range of brake pads and discs as well as calipers and shoes, TRW has everything covered to make brake pad supply and service stress-free. With more than 100 years of history in manufacturing original equipment, TRW has the experience to make a real difference to vehicle safety across Europe.
