Positive Molding Technology is an important factor in production of HARDEX® products. Positive molding results in a more uniform density in the production of the brake pad. It also allows using less resin content in formulation of the brake pad which can lead to improvement in the fading characteristic of the brake pad. The brake pads produced by positive molding process is proven to have much better stopping performance. High resin increases fading, which can increase stopping distances up to 50%.
All HARDEX® brake pads are manufactured using the same positive molding process utilized by Original Equipment suppliers. Positive molding uses extreme pressure to compress the friction material and bond it to the backing plate. This process assures consistent friction material density throughout the pad, resulting in even wear and performance characteristics throughout the life of the brake pad.
POSITIVE MOLDING TECHNOLOGY MAIN FEATURES:
-
Maintains constant friction consistency
-
Ensures better braking performance
-
Delivers longer service life
-
Requires less resin material
-
Resists heat fade
In addition to these features HARDEX® has added a scorching process to all of its brake pads. This additional process forces any impurities out of the friction material and pre-burnishes the pads to greatly accelerate the brake-in process. This OEM process enhances key friction performance levels. Scorching raises initial cold effectiveness, stabilizes friction levels right out of the box, provides consistent performance across the entire operating range. During the scorching phase; each brake pad surface is super-heated to simulate the initial break-in process performed by installation technicians. This additional step removes any uncured bonding agents eliminating the need for initial break-in and reducing noise caused by pad glazing. Scorching thermally conditions the pad material which yields a more consistent and higher friction level right out of the box. Scorching benefits the vehicle owner by promoting a more complete bed-in of new pads, increasing the effective stopping power from the first stop.
SCORCHING PROCESS MAIN FEATURES:
-
Removes impurities such as bonding material
-
Provides optimal stopping performance
-
Delivers consistent performance across the entire operating range
-
Reduces noise caused by pad glazing

HARDEX® PREMIUM
LOW-METALLIC BRAKE PADS
In today’s high horsepower vehicle, nothing is more important than the brake system. If you have noticed strange noises or squeaking when braking, unusual shaking when you apply the brakes, or uneven pulling to one side, these might be indications of worn brakes that need to be replaced. Hardex® is a leader in brake technology and has the experience to deliver premium low-metallic brake pads that promotes better heat transfer, providing quality braking every time.
EXCEPTIONAL BRAKING TECHNOLOGY
Hardex® Premium Low-Metallic Brakes Pads are made from an organic formula combined with small amounts of metal that help with heat transfer to offer improved braking. They are designed to keep wheels exceptionally clean, and deliver first-rate stopping power in a shorter stopping range. Exceedingly rotor friendly, these brake pads are ultra-quiet with no break-in required. Delivering the ultimate performance and the safest braking experience, our high performance low-metallic brake pads are 100% asbestos free and made with first-rate brake friction material, providing optimal heat resistance for all kinds of driving conditions and weather.
GET YOUR BRAKES CHECKED
Having your brakes checked at least once a year will ensure they run safely, and smoothly and helpavoid expensive replacements. However, if you notice squeaking, squealing, or grinding sounds, jerking to one side, or if your brake or anti-lock braking system (ABS) warning light comes on, it is important to get your brakes checked immediately.
