BOSCH QUIET CAST BRAKE PADS

The Science Behind the Silence
Every Bosch QuietCast™ Disc Brake Pad is fitted with the
industry’s best pre-attached rubber core shim. This shim
style is the most predominant type used by OE
manufacturers and is exclusively offered by Bosch for the
independent aftermarket.
ff The laminated rubber-core shim is heat and pressure
cured between two layers of steel (see Figure 1,
opposite page). This process ensures the highest quality
bonding of the rubber to steel resulting in lower noise,
increased strength, and corrosion resistance.
ff Sound vibrations pass through the friction material and
backing plate, but are dissipated by the unique rubber
core in the shim for remarkable noise dampening (see
Figure 2 below).
Molded Shim Technology (MST)
ff At the time of pressing, heat, adhesive and pressure
mold the multi-layer shim to the backing plate and
friction material creating an integrally molded unit.
ff Shim stays attached throughout the life of the pad;
won’t walk or slide on the backing plate.
ff Provides maximum stability resulting in quieter shim
performance over the life of the pad
