Abstract:

A hose includes a fluorothermoplastic or thermoplastic polyester elastomer tube layer, a nitrile rubber friction layer disposed over the tube layer, a reinforcement layer disposed over the friction layer, the reinforcement layer comprising braided steel wire, and a cover layer disposed over the reinforcing layer, where the cover layer may comprise chlorinated polyethylene. The tube layer defines a lumen in the hose, and a vapor return line is disposed within the lumen of the hose, where the vapor return line may be based upon thermoplastic polyester elastomer. Hose embodiments of the disclosure may be useful in fueling applications for vehicles using fuels such as gasoline, gasohol, diesel, biodiesel, avgas or jet fuel.

Inventors:

- Fairlawn OH, US
Lance Miller - Uniontown OH, US

Assignee:

ContiTech USA, Inc. - Fairlawn OH

International Classification:

F16L 11/08

Abstract:

Hoses including an inner tube defining a central longitudinal axis there through, a cover layer disposed proximate the inner tube, and a first reinforcement layer disposed between the inner tube and the cover layer, where a rubber compound forming one or more of the inner tube or the cover layer comprises glass beads, and the rubber compound has a specific gravity of 2.5 or less, a specific gravity of 1.3 or less, or even a specific gravity of 1.1 or less. The rubber compound may include glass beads in an amount of 100 phr or less, 40 phr or less or even 20 phr or less. In some cases, the hoses further include a second reinforcement layer disposed between the first reinforcement layer and the cover layer, and may even further include a friction layer disposed between the first reinforcement layer and the second reinforcement layer.

Abstract:

A flexible hose or a tubing having a barrier layer of polyamide 6 having an impact modifier, and/or branched molecular structure, a flexural modulus of 1 to 2 GPa and/or a tensile elongation of 100% or more. The hose may have additional layers such as an HNBR rubber inner tube, an EVM/CPE rubber blend outer cover, a textile or wire reinforcement, or the like. Permeability to ethanol- and methanol-containing fuels is very low. Permeability to B20 biofuels is very low.
