This product data sheet describes the properties of the ATE DOT 4 brake fluid SL.6 intended for use as hydraulic fluids in brake and clutch systems of motor vehicles.
This brake fluid for hydraulic motor vehicle brake and clutch systems is, due to its low viscosity at extremely low temperatures, particularly well suited to brake systems with electronically controlled hydraulic components which require rapid modulation of the brake pressure at the braked wheel, particularly in systems, called "Elektronische Stabilitätsprogramm" (ESP*) which used to prevent vehicle oversteer and understeer. The fluid composition is used by renowned car manufacturers on a mass-production scale.
The viscosity at –40° C is max. 700 mm²/s which is approximately half that of many other commercially available DOT 4 fluids and thus meets the requirements of ISO specification 4925 for brake fluids with low viscosity at low temperatures (class 6).
