A Brake Fluid is a non-compressible, hygroscopic (absorbs moisture) fluid that resides within a closed hydraulic system. When you press the brake pedal, the force travels through the brake fluid, translating it into pressure. This pressure is then transmitted to the wheel cylinders, which in turn force the brake pads to clamp down on the rotors or drums, slowing down the wheels and ultimately stopping the machine.

Attributes:
• Includes lubricants that help reduce friction and wear between moving parts of the brake system
• Withstands the intense heat generated during braking without boiling

Applications:
A Brake Fluid transfers the force to the calipers or wheel cylinders. The pressure generated by the brake fluid causes the brake pads or shoes to make contact with the rotors or drums, creating friction that slows down or stops the machine.
