•This brake fluid has good flow properties at low temperature and excellent performancewhen cold. The viscosity is appropriate for normal and high temperatures.•This fluid has a high boiling point, even after an extended period at high temperature. Inthe presence of moisture, the fall in the boiling point remains low. This guarantees theincompressibility of the product and the safety of the user (no « vapour lock »).•Low hygroscopy/limited water take-up. Compatible with natural and synthetic rubber partsused in the circuits.•The fluid is not corrosive to the metals in the circuit (tested on tinned metal, steel,aluminium, cast iron, brass and copper).•Low evaporation rate. High resistance to the formation of deposits and sludge.
