What is Carbon Metallic®?

Carbon Metallic®, sometimes called CM in the industry, is the brand name of PFC's most well known brake pads and will be the brand best suited for the majority of people. Carbon Metallic® offers superior braking, pedal feel, and longer life without fade at high temperatures There are over a dozen varieties of Carbon Metallic®, each custom manufactured for a specific vehicle application. Carbon Metallic® is completely different from an organic or semi-metallic pads, which often use clay as fillers to reduce costs. Fillers also diminish performance ñ something PFC takes very seriously and will not compromise. Carbon Metallic® unique friction formula contains no fillers - no asbestos, no lead, and no kevlar.

The phrase Carbon Metallic® is now used in the industry for brake pads - much like Kleenex® is for tissue paper. Stated another way - we ARE the Kleenex® of the brake industry. The branding power that our name commands is synonymous with performance in all categories.
