Silicone (MQ) Hoses (SAE J20 R1 Class A)

Manufactured to SAE J20 standards, all our silicone hoses are hand made and formed onto mandrels to fit specific curved spaces. Depending on the fabric reinforcement in the hose Silicone operates at temperatures from -50ºC to + 250ºC with operating pressures typically 3 bar. Silicone offers high resistance to atmospheric oxygen, ozone, water, sunlight and ultraviolet radiation & has excellent compression set. Its diverse properties make Silicone ideal for any application and is widely used in, ultra lightweight aerospace, Exhaust Gas Recirculation, FDA approved food and medicine, extruded tubing / profiles, heater & coolant applications, Bellows (charge air cooler, turbo, intercooler) applications, exhaust gas recirculation applications, Silicone ducting, marine applications however Silicone cannot be used for the delivery of fuel, oil or where there might be oil vapours (see Fluorosilicone)

Fluorosilicone (FMQ) Lined Hoses (SAE J20 R1 Class A)

As Silicone but has a high resistance to flame, weather, oxidation, ozone, silicate hydraulic fluids, alkalis, alcohol, synthetic lubricants, chemical solvents, fuels, oils & ethylene glycol, the most common antifreeze.
