Brake pads are subjected to a great deal of force every time the brakes are applied. Applying the brakes creates friction between the brake pad and the disc that reduces the speed of the vehicle. The pad (or brake shoe) is composed of a lining that is either riveted or glued to a metal backing plate. Riveted linings are considered to provide better performance than bonded linings.

Brake pads are made of different materials including metallic, semi-metallic, organic, and asbestos. Although asbestos was the best material for withstanding heat, health concerns have reduced its popularity. The non-metallic and organic brake pads don't last quite as long as a metallic compound pad, but they cause less wear on the rotors.
