The composition of brake pads varies according to the car's application and braking need, and can be made of sintered metal, ceramic, semi-metallic, and organic formulations. Ceramic and semi-metallic materials provide a good amount of stopping power as well as longer lifespan. Alternatively, organic pads are usually cheaper but relatively shorter in durability.
In order to alert the driver that the pads are in need of replacing, newly manufactured brake pads come with small wear indicators molded in and protruding above the friction material. As the pad gradually wears down, these indicators become increasingly visible.
Noise is also something to consider when choosing brake pads. While conventional semi-metallic pads are more prone to emitting squealing noises when it is subjected to heavy braking, ceramic pads tend to be quieter. In some cases, a noisy pad can be caused by glazed, contaminated, or unevenly worn friction material.
Brake pads are also responsible for producing brake dust, a fine powder typically made up of copper-based material that accumulates on the wheels, brakes, as well as on the underside of the car. A number of manufacturers are making efforts to minimize the copper content in these brake pads to lessen dust.
It is also important to check the rotor compatibility. This basically means that the pad material must be compatible with the rotor, whether it is made of cast iron or steel. Additionally, some ceramic pads require specially coated rotors to guarantee sufficiently long wear.
Furthermore, manufacturers carefully control the friction coefficient of the pad material, which defines the amount of braking force generated with a certain amount of pressure. This means that the effects of cold and heat are also taken into consideration, and some types of heavy-duty pads may contain additives that ensure a consistent braking performance even in extreme climate conditions.
Semi-metallic brake pads are made of a combination of metals, fibers, and binders, usually contain copper or graphite. They have good stopping power even when new, providing strong braking right away. However, they tend to produce more brake dust and noise than other types, and may squeal under heavy use. Semi-metallics are also better at dissipating heat than organic pads, and are available at lower cost. However, they may need replacement more often due to their faster wear.
Ceramic brake pads are made with a ceramic-based friction material, providing excellent stopping power and very low wear rates meaning they could potentially last much longer than semi-metallic pads. Ceramic pads also run very quietly and produce minimal brake dust. They work well even under heavy braking and heat, and can withstand higher operating temperatures. Though initially more expensive, ceramics may save in the long run due to infrequent replacement needs. Special coated rotors are needed to prevent wear, as ceramics can be abrasive.The material is also harder and more brittle, prone to cracking or shattering if stuck or frozen on the rotor. They may also be louder when first applied, as they require "breaking in" to fully mate with the rotors.
In summary, semi-metallics offer good value and performance for most drivers while ceramics provide higher performance for hardcore driving conditions.

Semi-metallic brake pads are most suitable for passenger vehicles such as cars, SUVs and trucks that drive in everyday conditions. These brakes offer good performance and value, while also providing great help for commercial vehicles that experience frequent stop-and-go driving. In addition, performance vehicles such as sports cars that drive on track or have high-heat scenarios also benefit from semi-metallics, as copper helps to dissipate heat. Semi-metallics are ideal for tow vehicles that are required to carry heavy loads.
Ceramic brake pads are the perfect choice for high-performance sports and race cars that need to endure continuous heavy braking. These brakes are also beneficial for luxury cars that require low dust and noise levels, while providing long pad life. Furthermore, ceramics are great for vehicles that drive in hot or cold climates as they are able to withstand wider temperature ranges. Ceramics are ideal for specialty vehicles such as motorcycles and ATVs which value size and weight savings. Plus, ceramics perform well in heavy trucks, buses, and commercial fleets, all of which require adequate heat resistance from regeneration braking. Moreover, ceramic brakes are highly suitable for off-roading vehicles like Jeeps that are often in rough terrain.
In conclusion, semi-metallic brake pads are optimal for general
consumer vehicles, while ceramics are best for high-performance and
specialized uses, such as severe conditions, maximum durability,
and extreme heat resistance.
