Honeywell Launches Bendix® CT-3™ Brake Pads
TROY, MICHIGAN, October 21, 2002 - After several months of intense research and development, Honeywell Friction Materials’ aftermarket team, which manufactures and markets Bendix® branded products, has identified a unique formula that combines ceramic technology and organic friction to virtually eliminate noise and greatly reduce dusting. The new product, Bendix® CT-3™, will be available in early 2003. Offering smooth braking, fade-resistant performance and low rotor wear, Bendix CT-3 brake pads are 100 percnt insulated with premium noise insulators and equipped with angled chamfers – features that help prevent squeaks and squeals as well as reduce vibration and harshness issues. The pads – which are asbestos free – also provide the optimum combination of ceramic technology and organic friction to virtually eliminate dust and noise. “We are very eager to bring this product to market. We’ve been analyzing a number of different formulations and wanted to be sure we had a low dust, high performance, ultra quiet offering,” said Tim Jones, Business General Manager, Honeywell Friction Materials, North American Aftermarket. “Our aftermarket customers will be very happy with our new ceramic technology, as will their customers. These premium pads are designed specifically for automotive enthusiasts who desire optimal performance and first-rate aesthetics.” Bendix® CT-3™ brake pads will join Bendix’s premium friction family – which includes SUV, Import Quiet®, TitaniuMetallic™ and Fleet MetLok® brake pads – but will differentiate itself with standout packaging that emphasizes the pad’s ceramic enhancements. Friction Materials, one of Honeywell’s business units, manufactures and markets Bendix® friction materials and brake products globally.
