First Line Ltd. urges the aftermarket to consider coated discs this winter

First Line Ltd. is emphasising the importance of quality brake discs with zinc aluminium coating as winter approaches, highlighting their benefits in wet weather conditions.

The innovative BECKTEC coating on First Line’s Borg & Beck brake discs provides superior protection against rust and corrosion, which is accelerated by moisture, ensuring a longer lifespan and consistent performance in damper conditions.

This coating creates a barrier that not only prevents oxidation but also enhances the disc's resistance to wear and tear, which can lead to uneven braking surfaces over time.

Coated brake discs are designed to enhance reliability and durability, making them a smart investment for maintaining vehicle safety and efficiency during challenging winter conditions.

As road salt and moisture increase the risk of braking system deterioration, the protective layer of BECKTEC-coated discs prevents oxidation and maintains optimal braking performance, ensuring that braking response remains swift and effective even in the harshest weather.

Kelvin Olds, Product Director at First Line Ltd., said: “As we enter the winter season, the importance of quality braking components cannot be overstated. Coated brake discs are essential for ensuring safety and performance during adverse weather. The BECKTEC coating not only improves resistance to environmental factors but also helps in maintaining friction properties, which is crucial for effective braking.”

Additionally, these coated discs provide enhanced thermal management, allowing for better heat dissipation during heavy braking scenarios. This reduces the risk of brake fade, which can occur when high temperatures compromise braking efficiency.
