Surface Transforms are a manufacturer of latest generation technology carbon-ceramic brake discs for vehicle and aircraft applications. ST is certified in TS16949 Automotive Quality Rating and AS9100C Aerospace Quality Rating.
The material of Surface Transforms is a new generation of carbon fibre reinforced ceramic (CFRC) produced by Surface Transforms’ proprietary processes. In this process, Carbon-Carbon is converted into carbon-silicon carbide ceramic (CSiC -Carbon-Silicon Carbide).
Surface Transforms is a highly innovative brake disc manufacturer based in Liverpool UK. With its own patented material technology and a team of scientists and qualified engineers, they are constantly developing new processes for the production of carbon-ceramic materials of the highest quality and durability.
While the carbon-ceramic discs found on production cars are produced with small pieces of carbon (chopped carbon fibre), ST uses a technique of layering many layers of carbon fibre on top of each other and weaving them together to form a 3D multidirectional matrix in the material. Thanks to this new generation of technology, Surface Transforms guarantees a stronger and more durable product that is 3x more heat resistant than standard production carbon-ceramic brake discs.
As a result, the performance is optimal and the temperature of the braking system remains lower during load. The surface of the discs is treated with an anti-oxidation treatment, which can be reapplied after wear and tear from heavy and long-term use. The brand now has a long list of applications available for different brands and models and is constantly developing to expand this.
