The Carbotech™ 1521™ is our high performance street compound. The
1521™ compound is known for its release and modulation, along with
unmatched rotor friendliness. 1521™ is also a very low dusting and low
noise compound with an excellent initial bite. This compound's excellent
linear torque production provides incredible braking force without ABS
intervention. Carbotech™ 1521™ operating range starts out at ambient
and goes up to 800°F (426°C+). 1521™ is suitable for ALL street cars,
perfect for your tow vehicle or fleet vehicle. Carbotech™ 1521™ is NOT
recommended for ANY track use.
The AX6™ is specifically engineered for Autocross applications. A
high torque brake compound delivering reliable and consistent
performance over a very wide operating temperature range of 50°F to
1100°F + (10°C to 593°C+). The advanced compound matrix provides an
excellent initial bite, high coefficient of friction at lower
temperatures along with very progressive brake modulation and release
characteristics. AX6™ offers high fade resistance, rotor friendliness
at all temperatures and excellent cold stopping power. As a result,
AX6™ is an excellent choice for Autocross and has gained tremendous
popularity with SCCA Prosolo/Solo2 competitors for its outstanding all
around performance. Many drivers use the AX6™ for street driving as
well, even though Carbotech™ doesn't recommend street driving with AX6™
due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise. AX6™ is NOT
recommended as race compounds in most applications. For application
questions please call or email Carbotech™.
A high torque brake compound with a wide operating temperature range
of 200°F-1350°F+ (93°C to 732°C+). Carbotech™ XP8™ is the first of our
racing compounds. Good initial bite at race temperatures, high
coefficient of friction, excellent modulation and release
characteristics. Extremely high fade resistance and very rotor friendly.
Excellent as a front brake pad for lighter applications weighing around
2,400lbs or less. Perfect for track day use with any tire and can
still be driven safely to and from the track. Carbotech™ does NOT
recommended XP8™ as a daily driven street pad due to elevated levels of
dust and noise. Carbotech™ XP8™ is a great compound on the front &
rear of most open wheel and sports racers.
When Carbotech™ unleashed the XP10™ to the general public it was an
instant success. XP10™ immediately gathered multiple regional,
divisional, and national championships. The XP10™ has a very strong
initial bite friction material with a coefficient of friction and rotor
friendliness unmatched in the industry. Fade resistance is in excess of
1650°F (898°C). Due to the high level of friction and bite, this
material is recommended for cars weighing around 2,900lbs or less.
XP10™ still maintains the highly praised release, excellent modulation
and rotor friendliness that have made all Carbotech™ compounds so
successful. Carbotech™ XP10™ is not recommended as a daily-driven street
pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise.
Another highly successful XP™ series compound with an excellent
initial bite, torque and fade resistance over and above the XP10™
compound. XP12™ has temperature range of 250°F to 2000°F+ (121°C to
1093°C+). The XP12™ has that excellent Carbotech release and modulation
that has made all other Carbotech compounds so successful. The XP12™ is
more rotor aggressive than XP10™, but compared to the competition the
XP12™ is still very rotor friendly. XP12™ is NOT recommended for use as
a daily driven street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and
noise.
Carbotech™ XP16™ is a step up from the highly successful XP12™
compound. With an aggressive initial bite, torque and fade resistance,
and higher than our XP12™ compound. XP16™ has a temperature range of
250°F to 2000°F+ (121°C to 1093°C+). Carbotech™ XP16™ has outstanding
release and modulation that has made all other Carbotech™ compounds so
successful. The XP16™ is the most rotor aggressive compound from
Carbotech™, but compared to its competition the XP16™ is still very
rotor friendly. Carbotech™ XP16™ is NOT recommended for use as a daily
driven street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise.
The latest iteration of the highly successful XP™ series of
compounds. XP20™ is a step up from the highly successful XP16™
compound. With an extremely aggressive initial bite, the most linear
torque curve to date and excellent fade resistance the XP20™ leads the
highly successful XP™ series line of compounds from Carbotech™. XP20™
has a temperature range of 275°F to 2000°F+ (135°C to 1093°C+).
Carbotech™ XP20™ maintains our tradition of having the outstanding
release and modulation that has made all other Carbotech™ compounds so
successful. The XP20™ as with other Carbotech™ compounds is very rotor
friendly. Carbotech™ XP20™ is NOT recommended for use as a daily
driven street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise.
The RP2™ compound was engineered for endurance racing based on our
highly successful XP™ Series formulations. RP2™ is our longest lasting
compound that we offer. RP2™ has strong initial bite, a little less
modulation than our XP12, but still maintains the rotor friendliness of
our XP™ series compounds. With a good initial bite and one of the most
consistent torque curves in the market the RP2™ compound is easy to keep
a consistent bite and torque throughout the braking zone. Great fade
resistance with a temperature range of 250°F to 1650°F+ (121°C to
898°C). RP2™ is as rotor friendly as our XP™ series compounds.
Carbotech™ RP2™ is NOT recommended for use as a daily driven street pad
due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise.
An advance organic-metallic compound specially formulated for drum
shoe applications in lighter weight race cars and/or high performance
street vehicles. High friction coefficient of 0.46 to 0.48, providing
excellent braking without any risk of lock-up. Very good brake
modulation throughout the entire brake pedal travel range, with
excellent wear characteristics, providing an outstanding value. With a
price-point significantly below other compounds offering similar
performance, 912 ™ is an excellent choice for the budget-minded racer or
high-performance driver. Optimal recommended operating temperature
range is from ambient to 650°F.
A D.O.T.-approved high-performance compound for brake shoes on high
performance street vehicles and race cars. Carbotech Kelated Metallic
(CKM) achieves a very high coefficient of friction (approx. 0.48 to
0.50) by taking advantage of a chemical reaction within the friction
mass, which creates a tri-alloy metallic film at the liner/drum
interface when subjected to heat and pressure. Designed to overcome the
shortcomings of other liner materials, CKM is a very versatile and
provides excellent braking performance in a wide variety of
applications. Excellent wear characteristics and a very high resistance
to lock-up under hard braking. Optimal recommended operating
temperature range is from ambient to 750°F.
