Brakco uses their own Tranquila compound, which provides a much better grip in wet conditions, while also absorbing vibration to suppress the stick-and-slip behaviour which causes brake squeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solution to the second problem is in the construction. It uses a double hollow venting wall backplate coated in graphene that actively pulls heat away from the friction compound and dissipates it before it reaches the caliper. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Tranquila suppresses noise, some light noise when the pads are wet is normal and does not indicate a performance issue. After a proper bed-in, noise control in dry conditions is very good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGraphene-Coated Honeycomb Venting Backplate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe backplate uses a hollow venting wall structure shaped into a honeycomb fin pattern.

By absorbing vibration at the contact surface, it significantly reduces the stick-and-slip phenomenon that generates brake squeal. Dry braking performance is strong, wet performance is reliable, and quietness is rated high on Brakco's own compound testing scale, though some light noise when the pads are saturated is normal behaviour for any organic pad and is not a sign of a defect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBed-In Required\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all organic pads, the Airpads require a proper bed-in before performance and noise behaviour settle.
