Rubber hoses are a common sight under the hood of many vehicles. While rubber works well, silicone hose kits and silicone hose offer some key advantages for automotive applications.

Silicone hose kits for cars typically include:
- 실리콘 호스 – In various lengths and sizes for different applications
- Clamps – To secure hoses onto fittings
- Fittings – To connect hoses to other components
- Adhesives – For bonding hoses to metal or plastic surfaces
The silicone hoses in these kits feature properties that make them superior to traditional rubber hoses:
- 내열성 – Silicone can tolerate higher temperatures than rubber.
- 내구성 – Silicone is stronger and lasts longer, with a lifespan up to 5 times that of rubber.
- 유연성 – Silicone remains flexible over a wide temperature range for easy installation.
- 화학적 내성 – Silicone is resistant to fuels, 유화, coolants and other automotive fluids.
- 내후성 – Silicone is UV resistant for outdoor applications.
Using Silicone Hose Instead Of Rubber Can Benefit Many Systems Under The Hood:
- Fuel lines – Silicone withstands gasoline, resists methanol fuels and tolerates high pressures.
- Vacuum lines – Silicone stays flexible at extreme hot or cold temperatures for vacuums.
- Turbo charger lines – Silicone handles the high heat generated by turbochargers.
- Radiator and heater hoses – Silicone does not burst or split like rubber at high coolant temperatures.
- Ducting hoses – Silicone is more resistant to ozone and UV degradation from the sun.
- Brake lines – Silicone dampens noise and vibration better than rubber.
