Ceramic vs Semi-Metallic Brake Pads: Which One Fits Your Driving Style?
When it comes to vehicle safety, choosing the right brake pads can make all the difference. Two of the most commonly used types are ceramic and semi-metallic brake pads — but how do you know which one is right for you?
At ANNAT, we believe an informed driver is a safer driver. Let’s break down the key differences between these two brake pad materials so you can choose with confidence.
🔍 What Are They Made Of?
- Ceramic Brake Pads
Made primarily of dense ceramic materials with fine copper fibers. Known for being clean, quiet, and consistent in performance.
- Semi-Metallic Brake Pads
Contain 30-70% metals such as steel, iron, or copper, combined with friction modifiers and fillers. They are durable and excellent at heat dissipation.
⚙️ Performance Comparison
Feature | Ceramic Pads | Semi-Metallic Pads |
Braking Power | Smooth, consistent braking | Strong, aggressive stopping power |
Noise Level | Very quiet | May produce noticeable noise |
Brake Dust | Low dust, cleaner wheels | More dust, darker wheel appearance |
Durability | Longer lifespan on average | High wear resistance, more rotor wear |
Temperature Tolerance | Moderate, best for everyday driving | Excellent in high-temperature environments |
🚗 Best Use Cases
- Ceramic Brake Pads
Ideal for city driving, light vehicles, and drivers who value a quiet, clean braking experience.
- Semi-Metallic Brake Pads
Suitable for heavy vehicles, high-performance cars, or frequent mountain and highway driving.
🌍 Environmental & Cost Considerations
- Ceramic pads tend to be more expensive but offer lower maintenance over time.
- Semi-metallic pads are more budget-friendly upfront but may wear out rotors faster.
At ANNAT, we provide both ceramic and semi-metallic options that meet ECE R90 certification, ensuring top-tier safety and performance no matter your choice.
