About Surface Transforms
Surface Transforms plc. (AIM:SCE) develop and produce carbon‐ceramic
material automotive brake discs. The Company is the UK's only manufacturer of
carbon‐ceramic brake discs, and only one of two mainstream carbon ceramic
brake disc companies in the world, serving customers that include major OEMs
in the global automotive markets.
The Company utilises its proprietary next generation Carbon Ceramic Technology
to create lightweight brake discs for high‐performance road and track
applications for both internal combustion engine and electric vehicles. While
competitor carbon‐ceramic brake discs use discontinuous chopped carbon
fibre, Surface Transforms interweaves continuous carbon fibre to form a 3D
matrix, producing a stronger and more durable product with improved heat
conductivity compared to competitor products; this reduces the brake system
operating temperature, resulting in lighter and longer life components with
superior brake performance. These benefits are in addition to the benefits of
all carbon‐ceramic brake discs vs. iron brake discs: weight savings of up to
70%, longer product life, consistent performance, reduced brake pad dust and
corrosion free.
