NRS
With over 500 Million units in service, globally - all since its launch in 2001, NRS patented technology is now the premiere Mechanical Attachment Technology in the world. Originally used on those platforms where extreme performance was the standard, NRS use has evolved to capture the full range of cost benefits that mechanical attachment brings to friction manufacturing.
NRS Enhances

NRS allows brake pads to be run down to the last few millimeters of friction material, while still maintaining 100% retention, enhancing life of your brake pads and saving you money on costly replacements. NRS has earned the reputation of being “bulletproof” in its resistance to shear loads, corrosion and heat. NRS-applied pads allow friction manufacturers to engineer friction products that demonstrate an extended duty cycle by retaining overall plate/pad integrity to the absolute end of friction wear.
NUCAP permanent bond
NRS is one of the solutions that NUCAP developed to provide more safe, quiet and cost effective products for the braking industry. NRS' hundreds of steel hooks create a permanent bond with the friction material. The NRS mechanical attachment holds the friction material better than any adhesive.
Manufacturing cycle comparison
Choosing NRS as a friction attachment technology also eliminates both plate preparation, and the use of chemical adhesives. No chemical adhesives means:
• no hazardous waste
• fewer harmful emissions
• lower production costs
Adhesive / NRS comparison
Tests show that the NRS plates will keep the friction attached to the backing plate until the very end of the brake pad life. Adhesives break down quite rapidly during the braking cycle. This can cause edgelift, which can lead to noise, vibration, rust-jacking and eventual breakdown of the brake pad. NRS drastically improves retention and shear values no matter if there is glue or not and over all conditions.
Eliminate edge lift and delamination
• Eliminates premature replacement due to noise
• Eliminates patialy broken friction material
• Pad integrity right to the last millimeter of friction

NRS hook geometry
NRS Hooks are engineered to specific tolerances, including height, curl, offset (lateral curl), and density (hooks per cm2). Hook Geometry is consistent across all sized of NRS – HD (CV, industrial, racing), Standard (passenger cars), Mini (motorcycles, ATVs, bicycles), and Micro (plastics and fine-granulation molded products).
NUCAP NRS innovation recognized
NUCAP was recognized with the Automotive News PACE Award for its NUCAP Retention System (NRS), as well as the spirit of innovation that characterizes the culture of the company.
