pastillas de freno, diferentes compuestos

Buscando por la web he encontrado esto, ya que no conseguia sacar agua clara de que compuestos usar ,creo, que este resumen puede ayudar a otros tambien . Esta en inglés pero si alguien encuentra el momento para traducirlo, o un buen sumario en castellano, que lo añada.
Espero que os puede ayudar.

DISC BRAKE PAD COMPOUNDS

Many disc brake pads are available in different compounds

Medium Compound

Also known as Compound S (Medium)

Containing metal and graphite for long wear. Great for muddy conditions, and a good choice in all conditions. A medium compound with consistent wet performance and good grip.

Advantages: Cheap, Above average all around performance
Disadvantages: Grippier and longer lasting pads are available
Suitable For: Everything
Conclusion: Best Value

Superlight WorldCup Competition Alu Backed Pads use the medium compound.

Professional Grade Black Ceramic Compound

Also known as Compound C (Ceramic Pro)

These soft organic ceramic fiber disc brake pads are carbonized. The ceramic compound insulates the brake system from friction heat up to 400oC. The result is a very powerful, quiet pad with extremely low heat generation which all but eliminates the chances of brake fade.

Details
Upgrade on original fitted pads
DIN 79100 Standard Approved
Organic Compound contains no metal material
Reduces damage to rotor
Carbonized compound reduces brake fading
Ceramic Fiber insulates brake system from friction heat
Non-Asbestos



Advantages: Excellent grip, Low noise, Low heat, Consistent in all conditions
Disadvantages: Short life span unless rider is light on brakes
Suitable For: DH, Dry XC, Ti Rotors
Conclusion: Best Performance, Short Life

Metallic Sintered

Also known as Compound T (Sintered)


Superior power in all conditions

Long wear pads, great for DH or XC
Consistent braking power in the wet
Almost unaffected by rain and snow


Advantages: Better performing and longer lasting than most pads
Disadvantages: More expensive than medium pads
Suitable For: XC, DH (low brake use), All weather conditions, Mud
Conclusion: Best All Rounders

Red Ceramic Compound - Hard

Also known as Compound D (Ceramic Hard)

Harder than ordinary pads. This is the highest density, hardest, ceramic compound for ultimate performance and the longer lifetime. These organic disc brake pads contain a high amount of ceramic fiber, which insulate the brake system from friction heat up to 400oC.

Advantages: Better performing and longer lasting than medium pads

Details
Upgrade on original fitted pads
DIN 79100 Standard Approved
Organic Compound contains no metal material
Reduces damage to rotor
Carbonized compound reduces brake fading
Ceramic Fiber insulates brake system from friction heat
Non-Asbestos



Advantages: Longer lasting than Black Ceramic pads
Disadvantages: More expensive than Black Ceramic pads and not as grippy
Suitable For: XC, DH (low brake use)
Conclusion: Ceramic Advantages with Longer Life

Other Factors

Low Noise: The black ceramic compound C is thought to be virtually silent

DH: Black Ceramic pads are great for Downhill as the ceramic compound insulates the calliper pistons from heat build up so reducing the likelihood of brake fade.

Rotors: All of these compounds can be used with any rotor. Ceramic pads cause less damage to rotors than metallic compound pads. Titanium Rotors: We recommend black ceramic compound for titanium coated rotors, as it contains no metal, so will reduce damage to the rotor. The coating on titanium plated rotors is extremely thin (often just a few microns), so will ultimately wear off no matter what pad you use, but ceramic pads will prolong their life over pads containing metal.
