National Autoparts - NAP Brake Pads

Quality & Performance from NAP

All NAP brake pads have ECE R90 aftermarket type approval - E Mark - meaning pads have been tested to meet certain OE standards and also match within 15% the original equipment cold braking performance.

National Auto Parts brake pads are supplied under the category of “Spare parts of matching quality” As defined by the EEC Commission Regulation (EU) No 461/2010 issued on the 27th May 2010.

Pads are also tested to levels in excess of R90 requirements to check high temperature performance, wear characteristics and noise levels. All pads are tested throughout production to maintain conformity of production - that means the pads will give same excellent performance now and in the future.

Regular benchmarking (comparison testing) by the manufacturer guarantees that our pads match or exceed the performance of our competitors.

Key Features:

RMR (Rubber-Metal-Rubber) shims are used across our range to prevent noise and reduce vibration. Shims are manufactured by the factory in a purpose-built rubber coating facility, not sub-contracted.

Application-specific friction materials using low-metallic and ceramic formulations. Low noise, low dust, and low wear material formulations.

Chamfers and slots are machined as per OE specification or to improve NVH performance.

OE Positive moulding technology, providing more even wear and performance characteristics.

Steel backplates are coated to prevent corrosion.

Factory Quality Highlights:

The factory’s laboratory houses two Link and one Horiba dyno - available for approval processes, NVH (noise, vibration, harshness), and braking efficiency analysis.

The factory uses an Advanced IAG production line which includes hot pressing, grinding, powder coating and assembly.

Computer controlled friction material mixing is centrally controlled and monitored by QC staff.

Final inspection includes an automatic weighing process to ensure strict adherence to the specification.
