Brake Fluid Rubber Compatibility

Welcome to our rubber chemical resistance chart.

Brake fluid rubber compatibility.

Or second you can select a specific chemical to view all its compatible o ring materials. This page contains a guide to selecting o ring materials based on chemical compatibility requirements. Even an older rubber part with a high concentration of natural rubber will not be damaged by new dot rated brake fluids. Fluid boiling point and other physical characteristics.

Brake system contamination and sludging. First of all it s. If the brake fluid becomes unable to control the ph or other corrosive elements the rubber and metal parts will deteriorate over time. All polyethylene glycol based fluids will not harm healthy rubber parts.

Also the additive packages will not damage or distort any rubber parts. Water absorption and corrosion. Here is the rubber compatibility chart that rates all popular rubber materials that comes into contact with various chemicals. All dot 3 4 and 5 1 brake fluids are compatible with each other and with all systems.

The chemical compatibility data can be presented in one of two ways. Fluid compatibility with the brake system rubber plastic and metal components. Use this rubber chemical resistance chart to make sure that the elastomer or o ring seal you choose will be compatible with the particular environment. Additionally some technical comments will be made about the new brake fluid formulations appearing on the scene.

Exposing rubber o ring materials to multiple chemicals and compounding application factors like temperature pressure and gland design can result in significantly different. The additive package controls the ph of the fluid and the viscosity.
