     * Organic brake pads inherit their name from the organic phenolic resins used to bind together the different compounds used in the pads construction. \\ There are countless different types of thermoset phenolic resin. \\ But they can all be generally considered to have a maximum temperature up to which they are thermally stable. \\ Above it's max operating temp, the phenolic resin binding agent becomes altered by heat. \\ And it effectively ‘boils’,​ expelling an appreciable volume of gas as it degrades.     * Organic brake pads inherit their name from the organic phenolic resins used to bind together the different compounds used in the pads construction. \\ There are countless different types of thermoset phenolic resin. \\ But they can all be generally considered to have a maximum temperature up to which they are thermally stable. \\ Above it's max operating temp, the phenolic resin binding agent becomes altered by heat. \\ And it effectively ‘boils’,​ expelling an appreciable volume of gas as it degrades.

     * This is the fusing together under, heat and pressure, of metallic particles and blending of various other elements to enhance friction properties and wear life. \\ Although attempts were made by the OEMs to cut costs of Sintered brakes by using sintered IRON, that was deemed a failure and these days the base material is copper.     * This is the fusing together under, heat and pressure, of metallic particles and blending of various other elements to enhance friction properties and wear life. \\ Although attempts were made by the OEMs to cut costs of Sintered brakes by using sintered IRON, that was deemed a failure and these days the base material is copper.
