What is brake fluid made of?
1 Answers
Automotive brake fluid is composed of castor oil and low-carbon alcohol. Below is relevant information about brake fluid: 1. Brake fluid is a liquid medium that transmits braking pressure in hydraulic braking systems, used in vehicles with hydraulic braking systems. 2. Characteristics of brake fluid: (1) Effectively lubricates moving parts of the braking system: extends the service life of brake calipers and other components; (2) Anti-corrosion and anti-rust properties: non-corrosive to both metal and non-metal materials in the braking system; (3) Adaptability to various environments: ensures flexible transmission of braking force under working conditions such as high temperature, extreme cold, high speed, and humidity; (4) Functions of energy transmission and heat dissipation: serves as a transmission medium.
