Every mechanic has had customers complain about loss of braking power.

Heat & Brake Fade

When brakes are applied to a moving vehicle, heat is created through the friction between the brake pads and rotors. Heat transfer happens when the heat travels through the brake caliper to affect other parts of the braking system.

Heat Transfer & the Loss of Compression

• Brake fluid is designed to compress during braking
• In extreme braking conditions, heat transfer may affect the ability of brake fluid to compress
• Without proper brake fluid compression, the braking system cannot function properly and drivers may experience “brake fade”

Now

Nucap’s brake research has advanced beyond merely improving existing technologies – we have created a new one.

NU-LOK Piston Cushion is a new approach to reducing brake NVH and heat transfer It tackles the problem at the source – the caliper/pad rotor interface A simple and effective solution to a leading cause of customer comebacks

Nucap will continue to develop innovative and practical solutions that help our customers have happier customers.
