EBC BRAKE FLUID DOT 5 [BF5] 250ml SINGLE new

Product Information

Our philosophy is that only when we manufacture every component in house do we have total control over the entire process from start to finish. Most of you will know that hydraulic brakes are designed to use one of two main types of brake fluid - DOT fluid or Mineral Oil, and which one you pick is not a choice made by you or me, but rather by the brake manufacturers themselves. EBC Brakes Racing would like to emphasise that we put as much effort into development of our rotor metallurgy as what we put into development of our pad friction materials. Silicone Brake Fluid is a Premium quality, fully Synthetic silicone Brake Fluid designed for use where DOT 5 Silicone brake fluids are required. A solvent diluent, usually glycol ether, which determines the fluid's boiling point and viscosity and accounts for 50-80% of the fluid.

EBC Brakes Racing proudly manufactures its 2-piece brake rotors and Apollo Series brake calipers in our Northampton, UK world headquarters. Final bleeding into a catch jar using the 2-person method will work when the team work well together. It also prevents localised corrosion of internal parts which can be caused by water pooling in the brake system. It will also not damage your paintwork if spilled and will not easily catch fire in the event of an accident.Brake fluid is only one of several vital components which enable hydraulic brake systems to work effectively. It was originally introduced to give a higher boiling temperature over glycol-based DOT 4 brake fluid.

The likes of Shimano and Magura have no doubt spent a lot of time and money refining their proprietary Mineral Oil brake fluids so you can understand why there is a degree of secrecy on the subject. is fundamentally different than the rest of the DOT fluid range in that it is silicone based brake fluid.The key to web page security is known as an ‘SSL certificate’, and can be identified by the yellow padlock symbol or SSL issuing company symbol that appears in the status bar area at the bottom right hand corner of your browser window.

The reasons behind this low temperature is unknown, all we know is that Magura Royal Blood is based on Castrol Vitamol V10 hydraulic fluid. This level of focus coupled with a constant program of development since 1970, ensures the world's finest products are always available for your machine. Silicone Brake Fluid is recommended for re-fill or top-up of brake and clutch systems in all vehicles and equipment that specify a DOT 5 Silicone fluid.

Another great thing about Mineral Oil is that it does not destroy your paintwork, something which is very important as bikes and bike gear gets shinier by the week. Care should be taken to use the correct type of brake fluid as recommended by the manufacturer of the system. I use DOT 4 in road cars and AP600 competition fluid in rally cars to avoid the fluid boiling, which DOT 4 can and does do under extreme conditions.

Now the brake fluid can no longer transfer these forces to the caliper leading to brake failure - this is known as 'fluid fade'. Its job is to transfer the input forces you create at the master cylinder (lever) to the caliper pistons.It is suitable for use in racing cars and motorcycles for competition applications as it resists the formation of vapours that can cause a loss in braking performance. It's easy to understand why a huge organisation like Shimano, with their kind of budget, would want complete control over the production of their brake fluid. SILICONE BRAKE FLUID is non-toxic and non-corrosive and will not damage automotive painted surfaces, hoses, seals or other materials. Glycol-based fluids consist of a mixture of ingredients with as many as ten separate substances making up the final product. But while we're on the subject let's take a look at which way the various brake manufacturers lean when it comes to brake fluid choice.
