Abstract: A brake (10) for a hydraulic vehicle brake system has a housing (14) with a bore (18) which is formed therein and in which a brake piston (20) is received in a sealingly and slideably displaceable manner. The brake piston (20) is adapted to press a brake lining (32) against a brake disk (12) by way of hydraulic pressure. For sealing, the brake piston (20) is sealed off relative to the bore (18) by a sealing ring (26) made of elastic material. In order to optimize the adhesive and sliding properties between the sealing ring (26) and brake piston (20), the sealing ring (26) and/or at least that outer surface of the brake piston (20) which cooperates with the sealing ring (26) is coated with a lacquer which contains an organic binder and a solid lubricant.

Abstract: Method of tempering workpieces of duroplastic plastic, in particular a piston for a motor vheicle brake, provides that the workpiece is heated after the pressing or molding according to a predetermined time-dependent temperature rise for several hours and after an initial heating phase a difference from the respective glass transition temperature of 5.degree. to 40.degree. C. is observed.
