brake pad (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100) comprising: a support plate (101) with a mounting surface (103), a friction lining (105) attached to the mounting surface (103) and having a tribological surface (107) which runs parallel to the mounting surface (103) within a specified tolerance; and a
surface coating (109) which is attached to a part of the tribological surface (107) using an
adhesive and which, when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the tribological surface (107), has a predetermined circumferential shape, wherein the tribological surface (107) of the friction lining (105) is configured to transmit frictional forces to a
brake disc, wherein the
surface coating (109) is a
composite material, the
composite material containing
potassium titanate and further configured to create a transfer layer on the
brake disc
