The disc brake pad underlayer

Most brake pads of cars and commercial vehicles have an underlayer between the friction material and steel backplate. This underlayer ensures good bonding strength with the backplate, dampens vibration and noise generated in the braking system, and gives a thermal and moisture barrier. And, depending on the raw materials used in the underlayer, it may save costs.
