The shift towards electric mobility adds another layer of complexity. Regenerative braking systems mean friction brakes are used less frequently, leading to “cold brake” scenarios and potential corrosion. Simultaneously, the increased vehicle mass of EVs demands superior high-temperature fade resistance during emergency stops. In this landscape—driven by powertrain electrification and stringent NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) demands—the margin for formulation error is nonexistent.
From a pure tribological standpoint, we know there is no single “magic powder” capable of solving every variable in the friction matrix simultaneously. However, at Rimsa, we engineer smart solutions for every challenge.
As we gear up for #EuroBrake2026 in Mainz, we invite our customers, formulators, and strategic partners to visit our booth and discover a comprehensive, rigorously tested portfolio designed to lead the future of clean braking:
We do not just supply raw materials; we offer a complete R&D ecosystem. The restriction in the usage of chemicals and the push for lower emissions require a massive effort not only in testing but in deep characterization.
Leveraging our advanced capabilities with our in-house Brake Pad Screening Tribometer (RTEC MTF-5000), we accelerate our customers’ development processes. We can assess friction properties and tribochemistry regardless of your counterpart material—whether it is standard Grey Cast Iron, Stainless Steel, or the newly trending Coated Rotors. We validate wear and friction trends under strict protocols before you make the costly jump to full-size dyno testing (WLTP, SAE J2707, SAE J2722 AK Master).
Let’s discuss your specific formulation challenges. Discover how our deep tribological and business expertise can help you optimize your business case, lower your time-to-market, and successfully pass the particle counter.
