Brake Pads on the market are mainly divided into three categories: ceramic, low-metallic, and semi-metallic.

The best material is ceramic, composed of copper, zinc, aluminum, and other soft metals, other metal components less than 3%, no steel fibers, no heavy metals, a density of 1.8-2.3g/cm³, imported resin, and mineral fibers can make the brake disc to keep neat, no noise, no rust, high brake comfort, and sensitive braking, good insulation performance, service life: 40,000 -50,000 km.

And low-metallic is also good, the steel fiber content of 5%-20%, density of 2.0-2.5g/cm³, high-quality mineral fiber can make the brake disc not easy to black, almost no noise, not easy to rust, high brake comfort, and sensitive braking, good insulation performance, service life: 30,000-40,000 km.

And last is semi-metallic material: The content of steel fiber and iron powder is more than 20%, (including copper fiber, golden dots can be seen on the surface), widely used in the aftermarket, service life: 30,000 km.

      Brake Maintenance Is Often Overlooked
      By juliaanderson
      One thing I've noticed is that many drivers pay attention to engine performance or tyre condition but often forget about their braking system until something feels wrong.
      I've started making it a habit to check the condition of my brake pads during regular maintenance instead of waiting for warning signs. It gives me more confidence on the road and can help avoid unnecessary repair costs later.
      What about everyone else here? Do you replace brake pads on a schedule or only when you notice noise, vibration, or reduced braking performance? I'd be interested to hear what maintenance routine has worked best for you.

      SAF-Holland Launches Haldex BrakeSight Brake Wear Monitoring
      By Counterman
      SAF-Holland has launched BrakeSight, a brake monitoring system for Haldex air disc brakes that provides continuous, real-time visibility into wear at the wheel end. The company said the system targets fleets seeking more predictable brake service intervals and streamlined repair planning.
      SAF-Holland said BrakeSight helps fleets schedule brake service at the optimal moment, extend rotor life, avoid unnecessary repairs and reduce overall maintenance costs.
      How BrakeSight Brake Monitoring Works
      BrakeSight is an optional feature for the Haldex ModulT air disc brake. As the adjustment mechanism rotates to compensate for pad and rotor wear, the system monitors this movement and translates it into a percentage of remaining pad and rotor life at each wheel end.
      The sensor connects to a frame-mounted electronic control unit (ECU), which converts the signal and outputs real-time data via CAN. Designed for both tractor and trailer air disc brakes, BrakeSight is J1939 compliant and compatible with all telematics platforms. SAF-Holland works with telematics providers selected by the fleet and offers open integration without exclusive partnerships.
      Built for Real-World Fleet Conditions
      SAF-Holland said BrakeSight combines durability with ease of use. Features include:
      Continuous measurement of brake pad wear; Ultrasonically welded sensor housing for long-term durability; IP6K9K sealing for harsh road and wash-down environments; Sensor warranty of 3 years or 350,000 miles, matching ABS coverage; Operating temperature range from -40 C to 125 C. Because all ModulT air disc brake calipers include the sensor mounting feature as standard, OEMs and fleets can add BrakeSight at any stage without replacing the caliper. This supports flexibility throughout the vehicle life cycle.
      By providing real-time insight into brake wear, the system helps fleets create more accurate maintenance schedules, reduce unplanned downtime and protect brake components. The company positioned this as a way to lower total cost of ownership and improve uptime.
