Delphi launches new range of coated brake discs

Zinc-flake coating offers protection against corrosion

Delphi launches new range of coated brake discs
Delphi's coated brake pads can be fitted straight from the box.

Delphi says the range also offers an appealing finish, and as the discs have no oil to clean off, they are quicker to fit, saving garages labour and service time.

“The discs are manufactured to the same exacting, high-quality specifications as the rest of our brake disc range, however, it’s the coating which makes the difference,” explains Katrina Hales, maintenance category director, Delphi product and service solutions.

“Our coated discs are evenly sprayed in an environmentally friendly, water and zinc-flake based silver Geomet coating.

Entire surface coating

“We coat the entire surface of the disc, including the top hat, outer rim, internal veins and friction surface for the ultimate protection; this reduces the susceptibility to corrosion, unlike oil-dipped or partially coated counterparts.”

Delphi’s coating stays in place longer thanks to a salt spray resistance of up to 240 hours, compared with less than 100 hours for many partially painted discs.

The strong Geomet coating on the hub mounting surface also makes brake disc replacement easier, because there will be less corrosion, and therefore less adhesion between the hub and disc.

“With more than 80 years’ experience in braking, Delphi understands these technologies and can pass on its knowledge to garages, saving them considerable labour and service time, while also helping to increase profitability,” adds Hales.

“With our coated discs, technicians can simply unpack and install with ease, and because the disc is manufactured to perform just like the OE equivalent, installers can fit with confidence, safe in the knowledge that they’ll have a happy customer with good-looking, high-quality brakes and no returned work.”

Added features

Many of Delphi’s coated discs also include added features, such as high carbon content, cross-drilled, directional veins and fixing screws, as per the OE equivalent.

The range consists of more than 1,700 parts, covering 92 per cent of the European car parc.

Delphi will extend coverage throughout the next 12 months, and will continue to offer a full range of plain discs for added choice.
