Abstract

The main physicochemical properties of polyethylene glycol monomethyl ethers in a wide temperature range were determined. The effect exerted on the main quality indices of brake fluids by the introduction of polyethylene glycol monomethyl ethers borates was studied. The use of these ethers as the main component of DOT-5.1 brake fluids was analyzed.
