The Technology USP

Why workshops choose Compact Primo — the 3-layer anti-squeal advantage

Compact Primo brake pads are engineered with multilayer anti-squeal shim technology — three layers of high-quality rubber and steel that absorb vibration and noise. Superior vibration and noise insulation, with pads that remain flexible and durable even at high operating temperatures.

Fewer comebacks

Brake squeal is one of the most common post-fitment complaints. The 3-layer shim reduces this failure mode.

Better customer satisfaction

Quiet brakes from cold and at temperature. Customers notice the difference after a Primo fitment.

Reliable performance under load

Bakkies operate at higher loads than passenger vehicles. Pad temperature stability matters more, not less. Backed by Clean Drive formulation.

3-Layer Anti-Squeal Shim Construction

Layer 1 — Nitrile Rubber Outer
Vibration absorption
Layer 2 — Carbon Steel 700 T3 Core
Structural rigidity
Layer 3 — Nitrile Rubber Inner
Caliper insulation

Friction Material

Clean Drive Formulation — pad consistency standard

Absorbs high-frequency vibration before it transmits through the caliper — eliminating the brake squeal workshops fault-find most after fitment.
