About Surface Transforms
Surface Transforms plc. (AIM:SCE) develop and produce
carbon--ceramic material automotive brake discs. The Company is the
UK's only manufacturer of carbon--ceramic brake discs, and only one
of two mainstream carbon ceramic brake disc companies in the world,
serving customers that include major OEMs in the global automotive
markets.
The Company utilises its proprietary next generation Carbon
Ceramic Technology to create lightweight brake discs for
high--performance road and track applications for both internal
combustion engine and electric vehicles. While competitor
carbon--ceramic brake discs use discontinuous chopped carbon fibre,
Surface Transforms interweaves continuous carbon fibre to form a 3D
matrix, producing a stronger and more durable product with improved
heat conductivity compared to competitor products; this reduces the
brake system operating temperature, resulting in lighter and longer
life components with superior brake performance. These benefits are
in addition to the benefits of all carbon--ceramic brake discs vs.
iron brake discs: weight savings of up to 70%, longer product life,
consistent performance, reduced brake pad dust and corrosion
free.
