The automotive braking system is a core component related to life safety, and the performance of the brake fluid directly affects the reliability and safety of braking. Silicone - based brake fluid provides reliable guarantee for the automotive braking system with its unique advantages.

1. Composition and Characteristics of Silicone - based Brake Fluid

• Composition and Production：Silicone - based brake fluid is mainly composed of silicone oil and a variety of additives. During the production process, the purity and molecular structure of silicone oil need to be strictly controlled to ensure its stable high - performance. At the same time, according to different usage requirements, appropriate amounts of antioxidants, rust inhibitors, lubricants, etc. are added. These additives work together with silicone oil to comprehensively improve the performance of the brake fluid.
• Key Characteristics：Silicone - based brake fluid has a relatively high boiling point, which is one of its most important characteristics. During frequent braking of a vehicle, the friction between the brake pads and the brake disc generates a large amount of heat, causing the temperature of the brake fluid to rise sharply. Ordinary brake fluid is likely to vaporize at high temperatures, forming bubbles, which will cause air resistance in the brake pipeline, seriously reducing the braking effect and even leading to brake failure. However, due to its high - boiling - point characteristics, silicone - based brake fluid is not easy to vaporize at high temperatures, can always remain in a liquid state, and ensures that the braking pressure can be effectively transmitted to the brake shoes or calipers, achieving reliable braking.

2. Protection and Maintenance of the Braking System

• Anti - corrosion and Life Extension：The chemical stability of silicone oil makes it less corrosive to the metal components in the braking system. During the long - term use of the braking system, traditional brake fluid may react chemically with metal components, causing rust and corrosion of the metal components, thus affecting the performance and reliability of the braking system. Silicone - based brake fluid can avoid this situation, reduce the corrosion of metal components such as brake pipes and brake cylinders, and extend the service life of the braking system. In addition, silicone - based brake fluid also has good lubricating properties, which can form a lubricating film between the braking components, reducing the wear between the brake pads and the brake disc, and further improving the stability and safety of the braking system.
