Mintex Racing, along with Pagid RS, is now part of the High Performance and Racing Division of TMD Friction which brings together TMD Friction and BT Bremsen-Technik, two of the most highly respected names in braking. For more than 100 years, since the very beginnings of the automotive industry, the Mintex and Pagid brands have represented the very best in friction for both production vehicles as well as performance cars, both achieving unprecendented success on the track.

Mintex M1144 is the material for fast road use as well as light competition such as karting, hill climb and single seat racing cars. One of the main characteristics of this material is the ability to work from cold, which gives the user the confidence of a standard material on the first application of the brakes. The benefit of M1144 is experienced as the temperature within the brakes starts to increase. M1144 will remain stable and consistent through to 450°C where a standard material at this temperature will most certainly start to fade. The bedding in procedure for M1144 is the same as any standard material i.e. steady braking for the first 50 miles, avoiding emergency stops.

Mintex M1155 is designed for competition use but can also be used for normal road applications if bedded in carefully. Applications such as Group A and N rally cars and circuit saloons suit this material. M1155 has a similar friction level to M1144 but remains consistent to a maximum operating temperature of 550-600°C.
