Information: CASAN DOT 3
Automotive Brake & Clutch Fluid
High quality, non-petroleum automotive brake fluid designed for use in conventional hydraulic brake and clutch systems under normal service conditions.
APPLICATIONS
- All hydraulically operated motor vehicle braking systems (drum and disc types) for which a DOT 3 or SAE J1703 fluid is specified
- Vehicles with anti-lock (ABS) braking systems
- Hydraulic clutch systems requiring conventional fluids
- Passenger cars, commercial road transport, off-highway vehicles, agricultural tractors and motorcycles
For vehicles operating in particularly severe service conditions, or where a DOT 4 fluid is specified, Nano CASAN DOT 4 is recommended.
Not to be used in systems designed for mineral oil based fluids (LHM), e.g., certain Citroen models, or where Silicone DOT 5 fluids are recommended.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
- S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3 - SAE J1703
- ISO 4925
- JIS K2233 Type 3
- Ford ESD-M6C9102-A
BENEFITS
Good brake response
High boiling point and resistance to vapor formation under normal service conditions ensures that brake pedal travel is taken up in activating the brakes rather than compressing the fluid.
Saves on maintenance
Buffered formulation provides protection from acidic oxidation products for cast iron and steel components by maintaining the pH of the fluid in the alkaline range. Advanced technology inhibitors protect other metals such as aluminium, brass, copper, zinc and tin from corrosion by forming a protective layer on the surface.
Minimizes leakage and loss of pressure
Correct seal swell and lubricity characteristics minimize leakage through seal shrinkage and component wear caused by excessive seal swelling and/or inadequate lubrication of moving parts.
Long fluid service life
High thermal and oxidation stability resists fluid degradation and formation of harmful deposits, ensuring long fluid service life and the retention of key performance features over the full life of the fluid.
