Studies in the U.S. state of California have cited copper particles eroding from brake pads as a major source of damage to the marine ecosystem.
Whilst not a legal requirement here in Europe, Comline has taken the proactive step of removing copper from its friction formulation.
Comline brake pads are certified ‘N’ rated under the AASA LeafMark™ classification for hazardous materials.
This demonstrates that Comline brake pads contain less than 0.5% copper by weight (actually 0%!) and conform to various other hazardous material limits.
