TORONTO – NUCAP Industries Inc. will supply Rotho Blaas SRL with GripMetal™ technology for incorporation in some of its products for the timber construction industry.
GripMetal™ is a disruptive surface modification technology that improves the performance of metals in a variety of applications and in industries as diverse as construction, automotive, aerospace, electronics and heat transfer.
The first successful application for GripMetal™ technology was in automotive brake pads. Sold under the NRS brand, GripMetal™ technology increases the bond strength of the friction to the steel backing plate and eliminates the need for traditional adhesives, resulting in improved safety and double the product life.
Continuous testing and validation by top global automotive brands has resulted in more than a billion brake pads utilizing NRS technology during the past 20 years.
