Efficient performance automotive brake fluid

Brake Fluid DOT 4 is an efficient performance nonpetroleum automotive brake fluid, designed for use in conventional hydraulic brakes and clutch systems, where DOT 4 fluids are recommended.

Brake Fluid DOT 4 is a complex mixture of polyglycol ethers, glycol ether borate esters and polyglycols with additional corrosion and oxidation inhibitors.

Benefits

  • Higher boiling point (260°C) than other DOT 4 brake fluids, and retention of boiling point in service helps prevent high temperature vapour formation, maintaining braking performance longer than DOT 3 products
  • Contributes an additional safety margin against vapour lock when compared with lower specification fluids
  • Buffered formulation maintains pH level in the alkaline range, helping protect cast iron and steel components
  • Inhibitors contribute to corrosion protection of a wide variety of metals including aluminium, brass, copper, zinc and tin
  • Seal swell and lubricity characteristics help prevent fluid leaks and reduce component wear
  • Thermal and oxidation stability helps resist fluid degradation, maintaining key performance features throughout fluid service life
  • Suitable for a wide range of vehicle types, reducing inventories

Applications

  • Brake Fluid DOT 4 meets the recognised standards for clutch and brake fluids as demanded by leading motor vehicle manufacturers
  • All hydraulically operated motor vehicle braking systems (drum and disc types) for which a DOT 4, SAE J1704 or ISO 4925 Class 4 fluid is specified
  • Make-up or service fill of braking systems requiring DOT 3, SAE J1703 or ISO 4925 Class 3 fluids
  • Vehicles with anti-lock (ABS) braking systems
  • Hydraulic clutch systems requiring conventional fluids
  • Passenger cars, commercial road transport, off-highway vehicles, agricultural tractors and motorcycles Brake Fluid DOT 4 is compatible with other brands of DOT 4/DOT 3 brake fluid
