ODM brake fluid from factory

Standard DOT 3, DOT4 brake fluid fits most passenger cars, but racing cars, electric vehicles and heavy-duty commercial trucks have special braking system requirements. Racing brake fluid needs ultra-high dry boiling point to resist brake fade under intense braking. EV brake fluid needs good compatibility with new brake caliper materials. If you want unique brake fluid products for your brand, custom brake fluid ODM development is your solution. GAFLE factory, as a professional brake fluid manufacturer, has professional lab to develop custom brake fluid formula.

Who needs custom brake fluid formula service? Racing parts brand owners need high boiling point racing brake fluid. EV component suppliers need low-corrosion custom brake fluid for electronic braking systems. Heavy-duty truck brand buyers need long service life brake fluid. Brand owners who want unique selling points and avoid direct price competition with generic brake fluid also select custom formula development.

Full custom brake fluid formula development process in our factory First, our technical team collects all your requirements: target DOT grade, dry boiling point, wet boiling point, viscosity, compatibility with rubber seals, target market standard. Second, lab chemists adjust polyglycol ether raw material ratio to create trial formula. Third, we run strict performance tests, including boiling point test, corrosion test, seal compatibility test and stability test. Fourth, small batch trial filling for you to test on vehicles. After sample approval, our factory starts mass production.

Custom ODM brake fluid VS standard ready brake fluid Ready standard brake fluid is in stock, low MOQ, short lead time, suitable for general market sales. Custom brake fluid formula can customize every performance indicator to match your demand, build exclusive product advantage. The downside is higher MOQ, longer development cycle and extra lab testing cost.

The development cost covers raw material trial, lab performance test and analysis. If you sign exclusive development contract and pay exclusive fee, GAFLE manufacturer will not supply this same custom brake fluid formula to other competing brands.
