Composite coating for noise and vibration damping and brake pad having such a coating

A brake pad, comprising:

• a backing plate that includes:
• a braking side;
• and
• a back side opposite the braking side;
• and
• a coating that is coated onto the back side, and that includes:
• a first bonding layer having an epoxy material coated directly onto the back side of the backing plate;
• a second bonding layer having the epoxy material;
• and
• a composite layer that is disposed between the first and second bonding layers, and that has a mixture of a rubber material and particles of a secondary material, wherein each of the first and second bonding layers is joined to a respective opposing side of the composite layer.

A method of producing a brake pad, comprising:

• coating a first layer that includes an epoxy material onto a back surface of a backing plate;
• coating a second layer onto the first layer coated onto the back surface, the second layer including a mixture of a rubber material and particles of a secondary material;
• and
• coating a third layer that includes the epoxy material onto the second layer coated on the first layer to form, together with the first layer and the second layer, a coating for the back surface of the backing plate.
