The Mintex C-Tech range is now available for drivers who need the assurance and confidence of high quality race and rally proven pads. The Mintex C-Tech range has been especially researched, developed and manufactured to meet the high level of stress and temperature produced during braking by todays performance cars. Drivers demand safety as well as speed. The Mintex C-Tech range is fitted by many of the top race and rally drivers competing today . They prefer C-Tech materials for consistent pedal feel and stability which gives them greater braking control.


Mintex M1144
This is a low metallic resin bonded material made from steel and acrylic fibres. Being the A/F version of M171 it is considered the standard material for a number of events as well as remaining suitable for heavy-duty road use (although there is the possibility of some harshness in normal road use). It keeps a constant friction level over a range of temperatures with the added advantage of a high cold friction eliminating the 'dead feel' on the first use.

Applications: - Kart, Hill Climb, Club, National Rally, Single Seater Racing, High Performance Road Vehicles.


Mintex M1155
This is a low to medium metallic material using both ferrous and nonferrous materials with a high temperature abrasive / lubricant system. It is the A/F improved friction and wear replacement for M200.

Applications: - Group A& N, Loose Surface and Circuit.


Mintex M1166
This is a medium metallic material with the same specification as the M1155 material but with added inorganic compounds which give it a enhanced friction level compared to M1155 but with the same good wear rate.

Applications: - Rally, Saloon / Sports Car Endurance Racing.


Mintex M1177
This is a high metallic, organic based blend of ferrous metals and high temperature abrasives, which allows it to be used at high temperatures without any special bedding in procedure. It maintains a high friction level with low disc wear.

Applications: - Circuit Racing where sustained high temperatures are encountered.


F Series


F1R
This is a high friction compound with very high initial torque especially designed for high down force and / or high grip applications.

Typical Applications: - CART, Group A International Rallying, Touring Car.

F2R
This material has a lower initial torque than F1R and is most effective for those classes with limited aerodynamic down force. It provides increased pedal feel with improved modulation sensitivity.

Typical Applications: - NASCAR, Touring Car rear, Group A International Rallying.

F3R
A medium torque compound used as a rear brake application in front wheel drive cars.

Typical Applications: - NASCAR, Trans Am.

F4R
This material has similar characteristics as F1R but is designed to bed in more easily.

Typical Applications: - F3, Spots Car, Group A International Rallying.
