DOT 5 Brake Fluid

Description

DOT 5 Silicone Brake Fluid (DOT V) is formulated for hydraulic brake systems at ambient temperatures from -55 °C to 55 °C. It provides corrosion protection and lubrication of brake-system components, has higher dry and wet boiling points than conventional glycol-based brake fluids, and will not damage paint.

Compatibility

Compatible with numerous brake-system components such as natural rubber, Neoprene, SBR and EP; SBR-1 demonstrates outstanding operational performance.

Cost-Saving Benefits

Low pour point — does not freeze down to -70 °C
Excellent thermal and oxidation stability
Excellent wear and corrosion protection
Effective lubrication at high and low operating temperatures
