12 Compound is a new generation endurance friction—excellent bite with 24 hour durability in its DNA and superior disc conditioning. 12 compounds were developed from 08 Compound with improved wear, modulation, and release characteristics. It is the ultimate in wear. The PFC .12 Compound won in its debut race the 2013 Daytona 24hr overall winner-There’s new endurance winner in the PFC arsenal. 12 compound wear is longer than 08 where high temperatures is not an issue. Typical applications; Ideal use for endurance where long wear is at a premium. Also racing venues where ABS systems are used. .12’s wear is at its optimum when disc temperature paints show 450-500c operating temperatures but will operate at higher temperatures if called too. Virtually zero taper wear when raced in a properly designed race caliper.
