Meet
challenging temperature and oil-resistance requirements for turbocharger and
intercooler hoses
Fabricate turbocharger hoses, intercooler hoses, and hose liners that:
-
Maintain their flexibility at continuous high temperatures above 200ºC
(392ºF) -- temperatures that would defeat organic rubber materials
-
Withstand increased pressure
-
Provide a durable barrier to aggressive engine oils and combustion
byproducts
The secret is a set of proven Silastic® Brand silicone
high-consistency rubber (HCR) and fluorosilicone rubber (FSR) elastomers
designed specifically for turbocharger hose
and liner applications.
-
FSR liner with exceptional
high-temperature capabilities
-
Patented technology that optimizes
adhesion between the silicone and FSR layers

liners.
Simplify processing
Silastic FSR elastomers are easier to process than
fluorocarbon materials. They can be calendered, extruded, or co-extruded. You may even
be able to achieve thinner thicknesses in some cases.
Meet stringent emission reduction requirements
Give your turbocharger hoses the high-temperature capabilities, chemical
resistance, and impermeability to
oil and combustion by-products needed to meet increasingly stringent
emission standards for cars, light- and heavy-duty trucks, buses, and diesel
engines, including:
-
EPA Tier 2
-
CARB
-
Euro 4
-
Euro 5
Improve
performance and reduce emissions

Enable your turbocharger hoses to:
-
Resist pressure.
-
Form an impermeable barrier to oils and combustion by-products.
|
| |
|
| |
-
Stand up to continuous high temperatures.
|
| |
|
| |
-
Achieve vibration resistance without fatigue failure.
-
Stop the transfer of noise and vibration between steel parts.

Start with the right elastomer
For turbocharger hoses, hose liners, and
intercooler hoses, we
recommend a compound or compounds that include high consistency rubber (HCR)
and fluorosilicone rubber (FSR) elastomers (if necessary) with a hardness of 55
to 70 Shore A, either extrusion-grade or calender-grade, pigmented, and
formulated to meet industry performance criteria.
Take advantage of our compounding expertise
We can custom compound a set of proven silicone elastomers to help you
achieve the best processing efficiency and performance value.
