KFP Carbon-Kevlar Brakes
The latest KFP Magnum Pad racing accomplishments (that we know of)
Where will you be in 2008 ?
The original Carbon-Kevlar high performance brakes are available for a wide range of racing and street vehicles, motorcycles, karts and snowmobiles. These brake rotor (and drum) friendly brakes, have been sold under various private label agreements for years, but, compound choices have been limited by the purchasing departments of those same companies.
Because we are factory direct, a wide-range of Carbon-Kevlar
matrix compounds are available.
With varying demands of the many racing circuits in
the world, coupled with diverse vehicle types and driving styles, the truly
competitive driver is faced with a variety of braking problems and thus
solutions. With hundreds of different brake pad configurations,
there is a KFP
Magnum Pad to your needs. From current applications
to those in vintage racing (other manufactures tend to neglect), KFP
Magnum brakes have the performance edge!.
After viewing the following compound information, if there are further questions regarding your particular application, then please contact our experienced technical personnel for help with your KFP selection.
- Design KFP racing brake pads (P1101, P4211, P42A), have a proprietary ceramic heat shield integrally molded and designed especially for high temperature applications, to minimize the heat transfer found in auto racing
- Quality KFP brake pads are made from the highest quality materials available. Their rigorous quality control follows each brake from the start of production to the finish grind, so that each pad performs identically.

Auto Racing Compounds
P1101 - Red Color Average coefficient of friction .530. High torque with moderate wear, for use in applications where thermal saturation is low. For use when under 600 degrees F operating and under 1200 degrees F spiking. Popular for formula cars with large and/or vented brakes. Not for use on aluminum.
P4211 - Blue Color Average coefficient of friction .490. Moderate torque with low wear rate. For use in applications where thermal saturation is low to moderate. For use when under 800 degrees F operating and under 1500 degrees F spiking. Common uses are rear applications for stock based road race vehicles, small caliper formula fords.
P42A - Gold Color Average coefficient of friction .470. Moderate torque with low wear rate. For use in applications where thermal saturation is moderate to high. For use when constantly over 450 degrees F operating temperature. Has the broadest thermal zone of these materials. Most often used as front brake material on larger vehicles and for custom relining of brake shoes such as on Formula Vee.
2003 - Purple Color * Average coefficient of friction .500. Good stable friction at all temperatures up to 1200 degrees F. Use with new or reconditioned rotors.
2005 - Black Color * Average coefficient of friction .650. Stable friction at all temperatures up to 1200 degrees F. Designed for open wheel or cars with good ducting. Requires less pedal effort. Use with new or reconditioned rotors.
*No Heat Shield
Note; Some racing brake materials from
other manufactures (not KFP), are leaving residue behind on the brake
rotors. This has been causing a reduction of braking forces, particularly when switching
to a different manufacture
or materials. The solution has been to remove up to .010" from each rotor face.
This will also provide a better, (like new) surface for your pads to work.
Don't let their material issues, keep you from the performance difference
of KFP
Magnum Brakes.
