WHAT IS “POSITIVE MOLDING TECHNOLOGY” AND WHY IS IT BETTER?

 

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.
