- Copper-free friction formula: A patented copper-free ceramic and semi-metallic friction formula, compliant with 2025 Copper Free legislation and rigorously formulated and tested by Bosch's engineers.
- OE-style rubber core shims: Pre-attached multilayer shims bond rubber to steel for lower noise, added strength and corrosion resistance.
- PTFE & rubber-coated hardware: Helps reduce vibration and noise while preventing binding to the caliper.
- Powder-coated backing plate: Resists rust and corrosion for increased brake-pad life.
A protective transfer layer is designed to help extend pad and rotor life, and synthetic lubricant is included in all applications to reduce resistance on sliding contact points. Bosch draws on OE braking heritage dating to 1927. For balanced braking, service both sides of the axle together as a matched set.
