The role of anti-corrosion coatings in extending the life of brake discs
Corrosion in the automotive industry is a process that is keeping engineers awake at night. Creating anti-corrosion coatings or materials is the goal of many manufacturers. ROTINGER offers brake discs with increased resistance to metal oxidation.

Why is it worth choosing ROTINGER brake discs with anti-corrosion coating?
Brake discs are found in most passenger cars on Polish roads. Drivers focus their attention on brake discs only when new symptoms appear. One of them is corrosion. Even heavy rain can sometimes cause a rusty coating to appear on the disc surface. Then we involuntarily glance at at least one of the brake discs. Does the role of anti-corrosion coatings help extend the life of brake discs? Or is it just a marketing ploy to attract a specific group of customers?
Brake disc corrosion
Corrosion is a challenge that the automotive industry has been facing for years. Anti-corrosion coatings, such as those used by ROTINGER, are an effective solution. Brake discs, present in almost every vehicle, often come into the driver’s sights only when problems arise – one of the first symptoms is rust. Even ordinary rain can cause a surface coating, and factors such as road salt or moisture accelerate the corrosion process.
However, products with anti-corrosion coatings, such as ROTINGER brake discs, are available on the market. Thanks to them, drivers can use their vehicles with greater peace of mind, knowing that their discs are better protected against the negative effects of external factors.
Less frequent disc replacement translates into, among other things, lower vehicle operating costs. A side effect is also less environmental pollution. We need less energy to transform used brake discs and pads into raw material for the production of new parts.
ROTINGER brake discs with anti-corrosion coating
ROTINGER is aware that brake discs can rust in the inner and outer layers. That is why the Graphite Line product line has a special anti-corrosion coating applied to each layer of the brake disc. The extended life of the anti-corrosion layer also translates into ease of assembly of the components.
The product can be installed in a car without prior chemical cleaning of the maintenance elements. This is possible thanks to the Graphite Line coating mentioned above. It is created in the process of galvanizing the brake disc, thanks to the use of a specially designed oil impregnation. In this way, drivers receive discs with increased corrosion resistance.
Why is it worth choosing ROTINGER brake discs with anti-corrosion coating?
Anti-corrosion coatings in brake discs are a solution that effectively responds to the problem of corrosion, significantly extending their service life. In conditions of intensive use, such as moisture, road salt or aggressive chemicals, ROTINGER discs from the Graphite Line are distinguished by their increased resistance to oxidation. Thanks to the galvanization process and oil impregnation, these products are ready for immediate installation, which eliminates the need for additional cleaning.
Using such solutions not only reduces the frequency of disc replacement, which translates into lower operating costs and less burden on the environment, but also increases the reliability of the braking system. By choosing ROTINGER brake discs, drivers invest in safety, durability and comfort of use, which makes them a well-thought-out choice on the modern automotive market.
