Finally it's done!
We are glad to introduce you to an absolute world novelty:
SICOM
extremely lightweight brake discs, which brake also brake under cold and wet conditions.
It's about a SICOM DMC ( Double Matrix Composite) brake system.
As it turned out after a 15 years test phase it is about an absolutely unrivaled product in all respects.
The brake disc consists of Carbon reinforced (consolidated) Carbon- a fiber reinforced composite material, where Carbon fiber in terms of texture, Rovings and shortcutfibers get application, which are bound by a matrix from Carbon and Graphite (Plumbago).
Here you can find a small presentation to the matter DMC (Double Matrix Composite) as pdf.file

The most important advantages:
- high coefficient of friction (adhesion factor)
- no oxidation (e.g. at saltwater and high temperatures)
- low weight smaller than 800 g per disk (extremely low gyroscopic forces)
- incomparable steering behavior resulting from low gyroscopic forces
- high heat conductance
- high heat capacity
- low density
- high specific closeness ( strength?)
- high specific stiffness
- thermo shock resistant
- corrosion resistant
- electrical conductant
- low thermic expansion coefficient
- strengthening at high tempererature use
- custom made material
