The Mintex brand is the most famous when it comes to motorsport.
Through intense research and development, Mintex materials cater
not only for Original Equipment and Aftermarket needs but at the
other extreme for competition purposes. It is from motorsport that
the latest family of Mintex materials have been developed.
Known as C-Tech, these materials cover a whole spectrum of vehicles
from a typical small hot hatchback for normal day to day use through
to a fully race prepared 700 bhp racing machine.
| M1144 is
the material for fast road use as well as light competition
such as karting, hill climb and single seater 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 450oC 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.
All M1144 pads are supplied with fully branded C-Tech anti noise
shims and a C-Tech sticker. |

| M1155
is designed for competition use but is also suitable for use
on road going powerful 4 wheel drive applications such as Imprezas
and EVO's. M1155 has a similar friction level to M1144 but remains
consistent to a maximum operating temperature of 550-600oC. Like M1144 there are no special bedding in procedures
for M1155. |
 |
| M1166
is again purely competition use only and is suitable for rally
and saloon/sports car endurance racing. The friction level is
higher than that of M1155 but remains consistent to temperatures
of 700oC. Again no special bedding in procedure is required.
