If the brake calipers are operated at temperatures higher than 220°C, then they run the risk of overheating the seals equipped in the calipers and may start to experience issues with sealing etc. If the brake caliper temperature runs higher than 220°C, the dust seals and fluid seals should be replaced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplying Brake Disc Heat Paint\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaint a half-inch wide strip of each paint close to each other of the outer edges of both front rotors.

When a vehicle is travelling at high speeds on track, it has a lot of kinetic energy. To slow it down, that kinetic energy must be converted to a different form of energy, which in this case is thermal energy. If your braking system temperatures get too hot, however, they may lose their effectiveness and, in-turn, shorten the lifespan of both brake pads and discs, causing you to have to pay for replacements prematurely and more often than necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to Look Out For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere are some tell-tale signs that your braking system is running too hot:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft\/spongy\/long pedal (this is normally when your fluid has got too hot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake fade (this is when the brake pads themselves have a sudden and short-term reduction in braking effectiveness, and is normally caused by using a pad that is not suitable for the application in which you are using it for, making it excessively hot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake pad glazing (this can happen when the pads have previously overheated and then cooled down, causing a glazed appearance on both the pad and disc surfaces)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmoking and burning smell coming from the brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlowing discs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Prevent Overheating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake sure that your braking system is in good condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck that the brake calipers are fully functioning and that there are no issues such as sticky, sliding pins or seized pistons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRun brake cooling\/ducting if and where possible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse high-temperature brake fluid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerform a brake bleed before and throughout your race weekend\/event\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMake sure you are using the correct pads for your application needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasure your braking temperatures periodically, both caliper and disc temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003enote: image is for illustration purposes and may differ on delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EBC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54477916897625,"sku":"TP001","price":178.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/7765\/9225\/files\/Trackpack_Set_TP001_H_1000_W_1000.jpg?v=1745271823"},{"product_id":"motul-rbf600-racing-brake-fluid","title":"MOTUL RBF600 Racing Brake Fluid","description":"\u003cp\u003eMOTUL RBF600 Racing Brake Fluid is extreme high performance polyglycol brake fluid, far exceeding the standards of DOT4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated with a dry boiling point of 312ºC and a wet boiling point of 204ºC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExceeds DOT3, DOT4 and DOT5.1 standards, except for viscosity at -40°C (-40°F).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for all types of Motorsport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied in a 500ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMOTUL RBF600 Racing Brake Fluid specifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% Synthetic fluid, polyglycol bases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry boiling point 312°C\/594°F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWet boiling point 204°C\/399°F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViscosity at -40°C (-40°F) 1750 mm²\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViscosity at 100°C (212°F) 2.5 mm²\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTYPE OF USE:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll types of hydraulic actuated brake and clutch systems requiring a non-silicone synthetic fluid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecially designed to resist to high temperature of racing actuated brake (steel or carbon) and clutch systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDry Boiling Point vs Wet Boiling Point Explained:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dry boiling point refers to the boiling temperature of fresh, brand new brake fluid.
