The SRF is the absolute best brake fluid on the market due to its extremely high dry & wet boiling points. It gives a firmer pedal feel then most other brands. For more information, please scroll down to the bottom of the page to the section labeled “a word of caution.” Fluid typeĮxcellent choice for street and/or track use. G-LOC Brakes, LLC does not recommend using a silicone based brake fluid with any of its products. Another indication of this is there will be significantly more pedal travel. The end result is a soft or spongy brake pedal. When the fluid boils it turns some of the brake fluid into vapor and forms air bubbles. What happens next is a significant drop in performance and in the fluids boiling temperature. Once brake fluid soaks up moisture it thickens and will not be able to withstand the heat created under the pressure of heavy braking. After months or years of changing climate conditions (temperature & humidity) the brake fluid performance is closer to the wet boiling point than the dry boiling point. When it comes to boiling points for your daily driver the wet boiling point number is more important than dry because the fluid stays in your car for at least two years. However, since it’s a hygroscopic fluid it will absorb water over time lowering it’s boiling point to the “wet” level. A new bottle is considered “dry” with a higher boiling point. This is achieved through either absorption or adsorption with the absorbing or adsorbing substance becoming physically changed somewhat. Hygroscopic is the ability of a substance to attract and hold water molecules from the surrounding environment. ![]()
