Abstract

A refrigerant transportation hose having excellent processability and durability, as well as high resistance to gas permeation (gas barrier properties) and adequate flexibility. The refrigerant transportation hose containing a tubular rubber layer in which refrigerant is circulated, the tubular rubber layer is formed by a material consisting essentially of components (A) to (C): (A) at least one rubber of butyl rubber and halogenated butyl rubber; (B) polybutene; and (C) a white filler.

Claims (14)

1. A refrigerant transportation hose containing a tubular rubber layer in which refrigerant is circulated, the tubular rubber layer is formed by a material consisting essentially of components (A) to (C):

(A) at least one rubber of butyl rubber and halogenated butyl rubber;

(B) liquid polybutene; and

(C) a white filler.

2. A refrigerant transportation hose according to claim 1 , wherein the component (B) is present at 3 parts by weight or more relative to 100 parts by weight of the component (A).

3. A refrigerant transportation hose according to claim 1 , wherein the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the component (B) is 300 to 3,700.

4. A refrigerant transportation hose according to claim 2 , wherein the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the component (B) is 300 to 3,700.

5. A refrigerant transportation hose containing a tubular rubber layer in which refrigerant is circulated, a reinforcing layer formed on an outer peripheral surface of the tubular rubber layer, and, an outer layer formed on an outer peripheral surface of the reinforcing layer, the tubular rubber layer is formed by a material consisting essentially of components (A) to (C):

(A) at least one rubber of butyl rubber and halogenated butyl rubber;

(B) liquid polybutene; and

(C) a white filler.

6. A refrigerant transportation hose according to claim 5 , wherein the component (B) is present at 3 parts by weight or more relative to 100 parts by weight of the component (A).

7. A refrigerant transportation hose according to claim 5 , wherein the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the component (B) is 300 to 3,700.

8. A refrigerant transportation hose according to claim 6 , wherein the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the component (B) is 300 to 3,700.
