Brake fluid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (404 words) |
 | Brake fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid used in brake applications in motorcycles, automobiles, light trucks and some advanced bicycles. |
| Braking applications produce a lot of heat so brake fluid must have a high boiling point to remain effective and must also not freeze under normal temperatures. |
| Polyethylene glycol and other brake fluid ingredients may be corrosive to paint and finished surfaces such as chrome and thus care should be taken when working with the fluid. |
| Brake Fluid (631 words) |
| Brake fluids are not inherently hazardous, but if they contain certain additives, or if they have become contaminated with brake cleaner or other solvents, they can fall under the hazardous waste rules. |
| Brake fluids are considered used oil and can be combined with your used oil as long as they dont contain any solvents, brake cleaners or carburetor cleaners. |
| Verify that contaminated brake fluid was properly managed and disposed/recycled as hazardous waste or that a hazardous waste determination was made that indicates it is a non-hazardous waste. |
