Abstract
An insulator is provided having opposing first and second sides and adapted for placement between a brake pad and one of a piston and caliper of a disc brake system. The insulator includes first and second metal layers. A viscoelastic layer is disposed between, and spans substantially the entirety of the first and second metal layers. A friction enhancing coating is disposed on at least one of the first and second sides. The friction enhancing coating preferably includes a plurality of particles, such as generally spherical glass beads.
