Detong New Material Technology Co., Ltd. in Heze, East China's Shandong Province has independently developed high-level brake pads for high-speed trains, which have been widely used in China, reversing the situation that most of the country’s rail transit equipment rely on imports. 

The core technology of brake pads lies in a new material, which is resistant to high temperatures and friction without affecting the brake discs of trains, according to the company’s General Manager, Huang Qiwei.

In addition to the orders from domestic market, the brake pads produced by Detong Company have been sold to Germany, Japan, South Korea, India and Pakistan.
