MRM1801 (FR)

Replacing M1144 road applications MRM1801 is a new medium friction compound specifically developed for performance road and light track day use. Encompassing an average friction of 0.46 µ MRM1801 offers the renowned low temperature bite and performance of M1144 making it perfect for the daily commute. Take it on track however and MRM1801 really shines utilising our new thermal underlayer; increasing feel, high temperature performance and longevity. EEC Regulation 90 approved MRM1801 is also Eco friendly to Euro 4 standard, with no copper or other rare earth resources. It also takes less energy to manufacture.

Typical applications include:

• Performance Road Cars

• Track cars utilising OEM brake calipers

BEDDING IN PROCEDURE

Step 1; Once the new pads are fitted and before moving the vehicle, ensure the brake pedal is actuated to remove any excessive pad disc clearance.

Step 2; On a clear section of road without endangering other users perform ten medium pressure brake applications from a speed of 60-20mph. Between each snub a time interval of ~40 secs should be maintained.

Step 3; After the tenth stop the brakes should be allowed to cool before commencing further driving.

The above procedure is only effective when replacing new pads and new discs, if retained (worn) discs are utilised the procedure will require extending by an undeterminable number of brake applications.

NEVER drag the brakes or try driving the vehicle with the brake pedal actuated, as this will adversely impair the performance of the friction material.
