Specialised solutions that transfer/transport media
Rubber products that transport media in a vehicle are essential to ensure the proper functioning and safety of various systems, including cooling, fuel supply, air conditioning and braking systems. These products must be durable and resistant to high temperatures, chemicals and pressure variations.
Common rubber products for media transfer in vehicles include:
- Radiator hoses: Transports coolant between the engine and radiator to regulate engine temperature.
- Fuel hoses: Conveys fuel from the tank to the engine, and is designed to withstand the chemical properties and pressures of the fuel.
- Brake hoses: Transfers hydraulic fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes, enabling effective braking power.
- Air hoses: Used in air conditioning and ventilation systems to transport air within the vehicle.
- Vacuum hoses: Used in various engine components, such as EGR valves and vacuum servos, to transmit vacuum pressure.
Materials used for these products include nitrile rubber (NBR) for its oil resistance, EPDM for its heat and ozone resistance, and silicone for its ability to withstand extreme temperatures. These rubber products are essential for maintaining vehicle performance and safety under varying operating conditions.
