Nitrex is revolutionizing the automotive landscape with Smart ONC® technology, a game-changer in brake rotor innovation. This dual treatment, consisting of ferritic nitrocarburizing with post-oxidation, meets Euro 7 non-effluent emissions regulations that demand reduced particulate emissions to promote environmental sustainability.

The shift to electric vehicles comes with challenges. The regenerative braking system, while promoting energy efficiency, leads to infrequent use of brakes, resulting in corrosion buildup. When brakes are applied, particulates are released into the environment, a concern Euro 7 aims to combat.

Smart ONC® technology addresses these challenges head-on. It surpasses conventional corrosion limits while significantly reducing particulate emissions associated with EV brake rotors. Through extensive research and development, Nitrex has perfected the properties of nitrocarburized surfaces on brake rotors, offering a superior, cost-effective, and eco-friendly solution. With Smart ONC®, manufacturers can extend brake rotor lifespan and pave the way for a greener future.
