rogerowen Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Just opened pack of new brakes pads to find that the backs are coated with a wavy bitumen type substance. Not seen anything like this before, Anyone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chilliman Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Fitted loads but never seen that before... a new anti squeal alternative? - what do the suppliers/manufacturers say? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geko Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 yes, anti squeal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlanG Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 I had similar. When they got dried out the coating curled up and rubbed on the disc's resulting in squeaking noise. Not recommended. Alan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rogerowen Posted June 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Don't think it can be right, it will surely melt and make a holy mess of the calipers. Email gone to Rimmers to query. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rogerowen Posted July 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Rimmers assure me that this is indeed an anti squeal coating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
