Medium Duty

Performance Friction was the first to provide an asbestos-free solution that could pass the certification requirement on a 690,000 pound haul truck at 35 mph. With brake temperatures exceeding 1800 degrees farenheit, imagine the braking power that required.

Performance Friction Corp. offers the highest quality disc pads covering classes 3 to 7. Through extensive vehicle testing with major national fleets, Performance Friction disc pads are proven to last longer, offer reduced brake noise, and provide shorter stopping distances.

PFC pads are also environmentally friendly - they do not contain any asbestos, lead, cadmium, chromium, or potassium titanate. Upgrade your brakes to the most respected brand in the industry.
