What's this blueish-white shit that's all over my rotors?

Battery corrosion shit

>>17720346
looks like salt

Looks like cobalt chromium aluminate oxide. Kinda like battery corrosion shit.

That's chrysotile asbestos. What low-end brakes did you buy, OP? Throw that shit away.

>>17720405
Some garbage off ebay because I needed new rotors + pads.
They are better than my old ones at stopping but they overheat fast as fuck and get all smelly...
Should I really be scared?

>>17720405
this

you might get cancer now

>>17720438
enjoy cancer

>>17720405
This. Just rub motor oil on and around your rotors to make it go away

>>17720438
The brakes you bought aren't even legally allowed to be sold on North America.

>>17720438
They literally make people sick from stopping with your windows down.. or heck they probably don't have to be down still make you sick. Don't do that again

Should have bought Callahan brakes

>>17720499
You gave away x amount of money to save y of money, x-y=z. Now you have to spend z amount of money to get what you should have already bought the first time. So now you are spending x+z and only getting a useful z product. Your x product you got needs to be thrown away before you inflict the cancer if a human you are on other people.

You tried to save y. Never try and save y, or you end up spending x+z. Classic x spender mistake. My dad was the same way dime smart and dollar foolish. Always buying things twice because the first cheapskate option was literally a safety hazard.

If it's any consolation, OP. Short term exposure to white asbestos isn't going to do shit to your body.

>>17720552
So they claim, but the grammer on the web site is sure Chinese... I'm not convinced they have more than a warehouse in Canada. Also, regardless where V-trust is, at that price those brake pads were manufactured in China or equivalent

>>17720589
Best tattoo ever. mfw I'm a newspaper carrier and exposed to it everyday (it's in ink)

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Front-Rotors-Ceramic-Pads-BlckZinc-Drill-Fits-07-08-09-10-Toyota-Yaris/222296928449?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

That's where i bought them from, if they really are asbestos pads i'll report the fuck out of them for fraud because it clearly says ceramic.
Also not really worried about the health implications, i was grinding away a shit ton of rust at the time so when i installed them i had a respirator on. Although these got banned in the states, they are still legal in here in Canada for some retarded reason.

Oh well, ebay meme strikes again.

>>17720569
Why would you spend $12 on brake pads anyway?

Bosch pads are like $25 and they're fucking Bosch.

>>17720602

Also i bought them for like $50CAD on another one of their "sales".

Chrysotile is only going to harm you if you are exposed to it regularly over the course of many years. It works its way out of the body unlike the crocidolite that Aussies unearthed in Wittenoom.

>>17720499

You're fucked OP, get checked out by a doctor for lung cancer, and get rid of that shit ASAP

>>17720621

Asbestos doesn't kill you overnight, retard.

>>17720626
Yeah... I don't think a lot of these kids realize that ceramic pads are also toxic and asbestos used to be really common in a lot of things...

>>17720612
Here in Oregon dawg. Dunno if it has repercussions on my health honestly it can't be good

>>17720638
It's a boogeyman for the most part. Only those who worked around it for long periods of time are at risk. The only asbestos you have to be really careful with is the blue shit in Australia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wittenoom,_Western_Australia

>>17720641
It can't do shit to your skin. It's not toxic to the touch. It just causes scar tissue in your lungs if you're exposed to it too frequently in high quantities.

not saying it isn't asbestos (I have no clue), but the copper that is in brake pads is pretty nasty for your lungs as well

Asbestos is only harmful if you get a lot in your lungs. Like stripping pipe insulation all day or cutting fiber shingles. Just being around the stuff won't hurt you as long as you don't breath in a mouthful.

Asbestos used to be EVRYWHERE (like seriously, power cords, insulation, shingles, fireproof clothing, everything) and only people who handled it occupationally got sick.

I doubt that the pads are aespestous, but the fact of the matter is that OP saved a few bucks on the ONE THING on a car that no one should skimp out on, and in doing so he put himself and everyone else on the road at risk. Don't buy brake pads on ebay, for the love of goodness.

>>17720997
White asbestos fibers work their own way out of your lungs due to their wavy composition. Only amphibole asbestos breaks down into smaller pieces and works its way deeper.

>>17723516 >>17720960
>Asbestos used to be everywhere
>Why don't you do some research?
Not that guy, but sometimes research turns up nothing on a product.

It's amazing how companies removed any mention of asbestos in their online references. Crayola crayons had asbestos in their crayons as verified by test lab results hired by a seattle area television studio's investigative news show. The wikipedia article was then updated to show asbestos but the company had a reputation management firm remove all references and then had "for hire" articles published in magazines it could then quote in the wikipedia article against that.

>>17722185
I work in the environmental compliance/testing industry and have had to give testimony during mesothelioma and asbestosis lawsuits

>>17720997
Except you'll be exposed to asbestos at any given point in time because it's a naturally occurring substance from the ground. There is such thing is ambient asbestos fibers. Be more worried imo if you're doing something stupid like burning off original sound deadening/undercoating mastic on a 50s-70s car that hasn't been restored. Even then I'd be more worried about the lead paint or filler (before bondo existed) they used at some point if it was crashed

The only asbestos fibers that you really should be worried about

>white if you're around it 5 days a week for a few years, in a /o/ setting this would be mechanics who are changing brake pads a few times a week for 5-10 years.
>blue (crocilodite, from Australia, rare but I've seen it a few times in electrical boxes)
>brown (amosite from South Africa, amosite has been more commonly found in my experience especially on steam pipes and boilers)

I'd be more worried about the shitty stopping power. Who cares about the asbestos potentially killing you when you can die from running a light and hitting a truck when your brakes fade and go

>>17724069
Raybestos got sued to fuck for using asbestos up until the early 1980s just like Johns Mansville

It's still not illegal for use in friction products by the way in America or Canada.

>>17720538
This is an under-rated post

>>17724504
https://www.aic.org.uk/asbestos-related-diseases/

There are many studies internationally that suggest white asbestos is significantly less hazardous to respiratory health than the other variants are.

Your brake disc is also quite worn, caliper doesn't look good either.

>>17720438
>Should I really be scared?
When your brake pads leave deposits like that, it's probably because they are substandard qualify. Since you bought them on eBay, that seller is probably an outlet for that trashy product company.

>>17724616
>Less harmful means it's not harmful!

What's also harmful is how companies cover up as well as edit and sanitize wikipedia articles.

>>17720538
Yep, "buy once, cry once".

>>17720499
Cool

reminder that asbestos doesn't make for bad brake pads, it's just slightly toxic.

>>17733508
Do you think the air filters in cars are able to filter out asbestos particles? Or does the grinding of them from brakes result in particles too small to be filtered by the cheap high air flow cabin filters?

>>17734121
Why would they end up inside your car in the first place? Asbestos fibers aren't radioactive for fuck's sake.
