Comline brake discs:
Anti-corrosion coating provides
an instant fit for improved efficiency
An advanced formulation, anti-corrosion coating that allows
direct fitment from box to axle is one of the notable features and
benefits of Comline’s coated brake discs and one of many that
are illustrated in the brand’s eye-catching new video.
The water-based coating is applied
to all areas of the disc, including
the hub and friction surface, to a
maximum thickness of 25 microns to
ensure effective rust protection. This feat
is achieved, thanks to a nine-stage process
that culminates in 240 hours’ worth of
salt-spray testing.
Complementing the enviable reputation
of Comline’s brake pads and following
meticulous analysis of the UK vehicle
parc to meet current trends, more than
1,000 European, Japanese, and Korean
coated brake disc references are currently
available from Comline’s impressive range.
Rapid installation
As Comline’s coated brake discs can be
fitted immediately, right out of the box,
technicians needn’t worry about the
cleaning or degreasing process that is
normally associated with more traditional,
non-coated discs. A professional
replacement of a brake disc can,
therefore, be completed in rapid time,
improving workshop efficiency, and with
full confidence in delivering immediate
and responsive stopping power to the
motorist.
On the topic of the coated disc stopping
capabilities, Comline’s braking expert, Dr
Keith Ellis – warmly known as
‘Dr Friction’ – admitted that adding a
coating to the friction surface may appear
“counterintuitive” but was quick to explain
the logic behind the design:
“This specialised coating dissipates
during early use. With our coated
discs, the brakes need only be applied
on a handful of occasions before the
specialised coating fades away to expose
the braking surface.
“With zero impact on braking
performance and the added benefit of not
having to degrease the disc, the benefits
are clear.”
The vehicle owner will, undoubtedly, be
impressed by the premium aesthetics of a
Comline coated brake disc too, a perfect
match when sat behind a contemporary
alloy wheel.
These elements combined, coupled
with the brand’s value proposition,
serve to make Comline coated brake
discs a compelling product offering.
As professionals consider the marriage
between brake pad and disc, which
is critical for vehicle safety, pairing
Comline coated discs with a set of the
brand’s renowned brake pads is the ideal
combination.
