Continual innovation of brake fluids results in the development of Orthene’s 320 DOT 4, with the highest boiling point available.

2013

Orthene develops a DOT 5.1 low-viscosity fluid, a world first.

2019

Orthene develops the world’s first brake fluid specifically for Electric and Hybrid vehicles, named the DOT 5.1 EHV.
