Bosch brake fluid is suitable for all hydraulic brake systems and ABS
and not only meets all the specifications of the automotive industry,
but also exceeds international standards
(FMVSS 11 standard, SAE J 1073 and ISO 4925).
It has a boiling point when new equal to 265 °C while normal
oils they support up to 235°C while boiling with moisture
absorbed is 165 °C against the 155 °C of the standards.
Brake fluid: always under pressure
Hydraulic fluid plays a major role in the braking system and
often underestimated. In fact, transferring the force impressed to the pedal up
to the braking elements, it takes on a large amount of heat from them
generated. To best perform its task, however, it doesn't have to be
subject to boiling, which would cause air bubbles to form
(compressible) within the same liquid and therefore ineffectiveness of
braking. In addition, the brake fluid acts as a lubricant for all parts of the
circuit, acting as an anticorrosive and non-aggressive medium in the
comparisons of the many rubber parts that make up the elements of
seal and brake system hoses.
The safety factor
the boiling point the safety factor of the brake fluid. It must be the
as high as possible; Bosch liquid exceeds all standards, namely i
pre-set values such as boiling point, both with new liquid and already in
service. Indeed, brake fluid is hygroscopic: this means that it absorbs
humidity, sees its resistance to high temperatures decrease.
Replacing this liquid regularly avoids unpleasant surprises
usually they manifest themselves, to the motorist, in the most critical moments such as
long fast descents or fully loaded vehicle.
