What the RP compound is for

The stated 250C to 750C operating range makes this a heat-seeking compound built for hard driving and track sessions rather than a quiet commuter pad. It rewards a car that is being pushed and warmed up. The slots cut into the pad face help hold friction steady as temperature climbs and give dust and debris somewhere to go instead of glazing the surface, while the carbon fibre content in the mix adds strength and keeps the friction level consistent rather than drifting as the pad heats. DBA also runs a post-curing, or scorching, process on these pads, which drives moisture and resins out of the friction material before it ever reaches your car so the set beds in faster after install.
