Pagid RSL Compound Overview
The compounds used in the creation of PAGID Racing’s brake pads have a very high content of non-ferrous (ceramic) materials, and this provides incredible thermal insulation and very high heat resistance and low heat conductivity. This reduces the heat transfer to the caliper (up to a massive 60 °C) preventing boiling of the brake fluid.
However, not all compounds are designed to meet the same temperature requirements – each motorsport discipline has its own set of conditions that a brake pad must meet. There is no “one size fits all” approach, which is why PAGID Racing have a multitude of brake pad compounds which are continually subjected to the most challenging real-world tests.
Not only does this guarantee consistent performance and durability, but it also results in improved vehicle safety, minimised wear of the pad-rotor system, and a reduced impact on the environment.
RSL Friction vs Temperature
PAGID Racing RSL – Endurance at the core
PAGID Racing’s RSL compound provides excellent braking consistency across a number of temperature ranges, and is typically used in endurance style racing such as GT championships, Touring Cars, GTE/GT3 and due to its good modulation and high friction capabilities, it can also be used in sprint series racing.
The RSL range is available in five different compounds; RSL 1, RSL 2, RSL 19, RSL 29 and RSL D1 - please see the table below for a list of the applications and benefits that each compound provides.

Key Features |
Application Range & Description |
|
|
|
RSL 1 is a low metallic resin bonded material containing steel and aramid fibers with high heat resistance. It maintains a constant friction level over a wide range of temperatures. Its low wear rate and disc friendliness make this material appropriate for endurance races. |
|
|
|
RSL 2 is based on the RSL 1 compound but has been further improved in terms of pad and disc life as well as friction stability vs. temperature. It is a low metallic resin bonded material containing steel and aramid fibers. Furthermore, it maintains a constant friction level over a wide range of temperatures. |
|
|
|
RSL 19 is a low metallic resin bonded material containing steel and aramid fibers. It maintains a constant friction level across a broad range of temperatures. The material features very good modulation and release characteristic. |
|
|
|
RSL 29 features very good modulation and release characteristics. It is a low metallic resin bonded material containing steel and aramid fibers. The friction level of the material maintains constant at a low-medium level. Another advantage is the easy bedding in behaviour. |

|
Specifically developed for rear axle applications. The RSL D1 compounds provide benefits in terms of vehicle stability during the turn-in stage and unloading the front axle regarding pad wear. |
