Default Brake pads which dust less

Is there a brand and model of brake pads which dust less? I've used the Lyndall Z pads and get dust, excessively so I think. Thanks.

I don't use them but it's what folks say makes the least dust...I use EBC double sintered. I haven't washed my bike in a while so I don't really care about dust, I want them to stop better...

I've used their pads since 2007. I didn't notice much if any difference in stopping power but there is no dust and no brake noise. The rotors are top notch and very light...

I thought the Lyndall Z+ pads are supposed to be pretty much dust free.

Have you contacted LRB. You could have a defective pad. Again, I get no dust,

I use organic pads and no dust that I can see.

I've been using the Lyndall Z and Gold for about 7 years now. No dust, no squeak/squeal and high mileage.

Other than little to no dust, do they create excessive heat and warp rotors? I'm replacing mine with new floating rotors and don't want any chance of warping, are they ceramic, metallic or what?
