Textar Cera Tec

Textar Cera Tec is a copper-free brake lubricant. Copper grease cannot withstand high temperatures and stop pads from moving freely within the system. This in turn causes drag and premature wear. It can also react with steel and aluminium, increasing corrosion between these two metals, should contact occur. In addition, as copper is conductive, the presence of the metal in the braking system can interfere with the magnetic sensors found within a car’s ABS and electronics. This could cause the ABS to malfunction, leading to issues with warning lights, or potential wheel locking. The best way to avoid these issues is to ensure that you are using a copper-free grease that complements a vehicle’s brakes, such as Textar’s Cera Tec.
