Liquid Corrosion Inhibitor Additive in UAE – M-408 Additive
Brake systems work in demanding conditions. Heat, moisture, pressure changes and long service periods can slowly affect internal metal parts. Even when brake fluid is present, corrosion can still start inside the system if the fluid does not have enough corrosion protection. Over time, this may affect performance, service life and maintenance cost.
M-408 Additive helps reduce this problem. It works as a Liquid Corrosion Inhibitor Additive for brake fluids and helps protect internal brake system metals from rust and corrosion. It is especially useful in silicone-based brake fluids such as DOT 5, although it is also compatible with DOT 3 and DOT 4 brake fluids.
This product is useful for automotive service companies, vehicle maintenance teams, fleet workshops, brake fluid formulators, equipment service companies and industrial users who need better corrosion control in brake systems. Alvina supplies M-408 Additive across UAE and GCC markets for customers who need dependable brake fluid corrosion protection.
What is M-408 Additive?
M-408 Additive is a corrosion inhibitor additive designed for brake fluids. It helps improve protection inside brake systems by reducing corrosion on ferrous and yellow metals. The product is added at a low dosage, making it economical for formulation and maintenance applications.
The additive is compatible with most brake fluids. However, it performs especially well in silicone-based DOT 5 brake fluid. When used at the recommended dosage, it improves corrosion protection without affecting important brake fluid properties such as dry boiling point, wet boiling point, compressibility, flammability, and temperature serviceability.
It is suitable for customers looking for Industrial Liquid Additive, Metal Protection Additive, Rust Control Additive, Multi Metal Protection Additive, Corrosion Protection Additive, Water Soluble Corrosion Additive, Process Fluid Corrosion Additive, Anti Rust Liquid Additive and Metal Surface Protection Additive.

Why Choose M-408 Additive from Alvina?
Brake systems need reliable corrosion protection because internal parts often face moisture, heat and pressure changes. If corrosion begins inside the system, maintenance problems can increase over time. Therefore, choosing the right additive can help support longer brake system life.
M-408 Additive helps protect brake systems without harming key brake fluid properties when used correctly. It is useful for customers searching for Industrial Liquid Additive, Metal Protection Additive, Rust Control Additive, Multi Metal Protection Additive, Corrosion Protection Additive, Anti Rust Liquid Additive and Industrial Rust Preventive Additive.
Alvina supplies M-408 Additive across UAE and supports customers throughout Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain.
