The Friction Materials Standards Institute (FMSI) has just updated its industry-standard part numbering system to include a total of 97 Z-Numbers. These numbers indicate brake pads specified by OEMs to use mechanical fusion, denoted by a 'Z' designation.

Right out of the box, Galvanized NRS Brakes have a technology you can see. Rust resistant, unpainted Galvanized Steel that incorporates an award winning attachment technology called NRSTM.
Instead of adhesives, our brake pads have In-situ galvanized hooks - called NRSTM on the backing-plate surface. These hooks provide a mechanical retention of the friction material, overcoming inadequacies of adhesive usage.
This guarantees that the friction material will never delaminate, providing a longer life and safer brake operation for the entire life of the pad.
Galvanized Brake PadsBrake pad cross-section comparison
A majority of after-market brake pads today use painted back-plates and inconsistently applied adhesives to bond the friction material to the back-plate. These adhesives are easily thermally degraded during normal service. NRS galvanic protection prevents corrosion and its ingress, affording a very robust rust inhibition over the life-time of the brake pad. Brake pads ought not to be replaced for back-plate corrosion well before they actually wear out!
We have engineered a Safety Braking Zone into every one of our brake pads. Instead of adhesives, our brake pads have In-situ galvanized hooks – called SHARKMetal™ on the backing-plate surface. These hooks provide a mechanical retention of the friction material, overcoming inadequacies of adhesive usage. This guarantees that the friction material will never delaminate, providing a longer life and safer brake operation for the entire life of the pad.
We use the best engineered friction materials in our brake pads. Our semi-metallic brake pads have more durability and longevity than traditional pads. Ideal for passenger cars, light trucks, vans, import and domestic, our brake pads stop sooner, last longer, and are significantly quieter than traditional brake pads.
This revolutionary noise suppression device snaps into place and works with every open piston caliper with ease. The floating design reduces vibration, which reduces brake noise by 90%. The noise cancelling piston insert is included with all galvanized NRS brake pads.
