Enhanced Safety Intelligence (ESI)

Brake fluids are a crucial safety factor – they must ensure fast signal processing and breaking reactions. A low viscosity is crucial here. With a viscosity that is more than 50% lower than standard products, and exceeds international requirements, BASF's brake fluid for enhanced safety intelligence, HYDRAULAN® 406 ESI, significantly improves braking safety – even under difficult conditions. 

 

Enhanced safety is also provided by the product’s higher boiling points and its reduced low temperature viscosity. HYDRAULAN® 406 ESI is a brake fluid that covers all the specifications of DOT 3, DOT 4, DOT 5.1 NONSILICONE BASE and SAE J 1704 Low Viscosity. 

 

With the continuing technological advancement of brake systems and automated safety systems, lubricity will become an essential factor when selecting an appropriate brake fluid. Here, HYDRAULAN® 406 ESI has been formulated to provide superior lubrication and therefore extend the durability of the whole brake system.

Refrigeration Esters

Depending on the e-vehicle design, air conditioner compressors can also be used for heating and supportive direct and indirect battery cooling.
 

SYNATIVE® refrigeration esters as base oils in A/C compressor lubricants can help to improve overall thermal management and deliver

  • Battery efficiency if A/C is used for the entire thermal management in the car
  • Support of direct or indirect cooling/heating of the battery by providing high energy efficiency
     

BASF's refrigeration esters deliver superior performance, excellent hydrolytic and oxidative stability also under severe operation conditions and can contribute to high battery efficiency and improved thermal management of e-vehicles. Our solutions can be customized and tailored to your specific needs.

Energy Efficiency Booster (EEB)

Friction performance of transmission fluids can significantly contribute to reduced CO2 footprint of e-vehicles.
 

SYNATIVE® EEB technology can help to meet CO2 targets by enabling

  • Improved friction performance of a transmission oil
  • Compatibility with low viscosity Group I to Group IV oils
  • High heat conductivity
     

BASF has developed a novel base stock technology with unique polyether-based hybrid structure. Parts of the molecular structure contribute to outstanding frictional behavior, exceeding PAO performance, while other parts help to achieve compatibility with hydrocarbon oils. The new high-performance technology can be used in various automotive applications, including transmission lubricants, gear oils and greases and enable potential CO2 savings and improved thermal management.
