First Line Ltd. is reminding the aftermarket to consider coated brake discs as winter approaches. Their Borg & Beck discs with BECKTEC coating offer several advantages in wet and challenging conditions.
The zinc aluminium BECKTEC coating provides superior protection against rust and corrosion, which are accelerated by moisture. This not only extends the lifespan of the discs but also ensures consistent braking performance throughout winter. The coating also helps prevent uneven wear on the braking surfaces.
Coated discs are designed for increased reliability and durability, making them a valuable investment for winter safety. Road salt and moisture can damage brake systems, but the BECKTEC coating prevents oxidation and maintains optimal braking response even in harsh weather.
Kelvin Olds, Product Director at First Line Ltd., said: “As we enter the winter season, the importance of quality braking components cannot be overstated. Coated brake discs are essential for ensuring safety and performance during adverse weather. The BECKTEC coating not only improves resistance to environmental factors but also helps in maintaining friction properties, which is crucial for effective braking.”
These discs also offer enhanced thermal management, meaning better heat dissipation during heavy braking. This reduces the risk of brake fade, a situation where high temperatures compromise stopping power.
By choosing Borg & Beck’s coated discs, techs can offer their customers reliable braking performance, whatever the weather.
