Boiling Point above 300°C (Extreme)

The boiling point of brake fluid is the temperature at which the fluid changes into a gaseous state. During braking, friction generates heat that warms the fluid. If its temperature exceeds the boiling point, vapor bubbles form in the brake system. Unlike liquid, vapor is compressible, which causes the brake pedal to become soft and the braking effect to be lost. This phenomenon is referred to as „vapor lock“. A value above 300 °C represents the so-called dry boiling point, meaning the temperature resistance of new fluid without absorbed water. Such a high boiling point is required for vehicles subjected to extreme stress, for example, during sports or race driving, where the brake system generates a large amount of heat. Over time, the fluid absorbs atmospheric moisture, which lowers its boiling point to a lower value, known as the wet boiling point.
