Burton Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hey,I know that if you heat up cousts too much they go all wierd because the material properties change. This is the question, what would happen if this material was cooled to a very cold temperature, like -30C?What would it do to other pads that are too soft?

T-BAD Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 they'd go hard and probably shatter?dunno what the temperature is but if its soo cold your teeth can crack when you smile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 Basically, substances become harder and more brittle the colder they get, (yes for the chemists out there there are a few weird ones and physicits we'll just leave supercooling the hell alone).The main problem with cooling your pads to -30 would be the brittleness of the rubber, I doubt it would change the structure, and therefore chemical properties, as that normally requires an increase in energy, however there are a few exceptions I'm sure.It may make super soft pads last longer, but it would be silly expensive, last about 10 minutes and your pads may freeze to your rim or slave cylinders due to condensation.
