THE POWER OF PLATINUM PROTECTS AGAINST RUST-JACKING FOR 3-YEARS/300,000-MILES.

At Meritor, we continue to invest in our PlatinumShield technology to improve performance and durability. Meritor engineers are continually conducting research and testing to discover ways to improve our PlatinumShield coating process. The result is PlatinumShield III, our third-generation coating with advanced engineering that maximizes resistance to rust-jacking.

In developing PlatinumShield III coating, our aftermarket engineering team discovered a refinement in the process that provides superior adhesion of the coating to the surface of the shoe. Superior adhesion enables the coating to protect the brake shoe for a significantly longer time on the road, increasing the shoe’s durability to withstand the corrosion caused by highway de-icing chemicals. The result is a quantum leap in technological performance that creates a new standard of brake-shoe durability. PlatinumShield III coating provides unsurpassed resistance to rust-jacking and corrosion while extending the life of your brakes.

• Extends tire life
  • Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) studies show a 10 percent longer tire life with tire inflation systems
    • Underinflation negatively affects both new tires and retreads
    • Continuous inflation prevents early retreading – reduces overall fleet tire costs
    • Helps preserve tire casting for maximum retreading
• Increases fuel economy
  • Proper tire pressure means better fuel economy
  • Proven 1.4 percent average improvement in fuel economy per vehicle based on a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) real-world study on tire inflation systems
• Decreases fleet maintenance costs
  • Less time spent on manual pressure checking and filling
  • Longer intervals between retreads
• Improves safety
  • Prevents underinflation, which is the leading cause of tire blowouts
  • Reduces the risk of road accidents caused by underinflation
  • Delivers real-time warnings of tire issues
• Reduces roadside assistance calls
  • In most cases, it keeps tires inflated until the driver reaches a maintenance location, which reduces service calls and unplanned downtime
  • Reduces blowouts
• Provides over-the-road pressure maintenance
• Compatible with satellite communication services
• Optional in-cab PLC Display from Meritor WABCO – to signal a warning to the driver when the system detects a leak
