Abstract

A heat-resistant air hose for a diesel engine comprising a tubular inner layer and an outer layer formed on an outer peripheral surface of the inner layer, wherein a material for forming the inner layer contains at least one of the following components (A) and (B) and excludes an acid receiver, and a material for forming the outer layer contains a non-peroxide-crosslinkable ethylene acrylic rubber and a non-halogen flame retardant wherein the non-halogen flame retardant is present at not less than 60 and less than 80 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the non-peroxide-crosslinkable ethylene acrylic rubber: (A) an alloy material formed by mixing ethylene acrylic rubber and fluororubber wherein the ethylene acrylic rubber is present at not less than 20% by weight based on the total alloy material; and (B) at least one of acrylic rubber and ethylene acrylic rubber.

Claims (5)

1. A heat-resistant air hose for a diesel engine comprising a tubular inner layer and an outer layer formed on an outer peripheral surface of the inner layer, wherein a material for forming the inner layer comprises peroxide-crosslinkable ethylene acrylic rubber and peroxide crosslinking agent and excludes an acid receiver, and a material for forming the outer layer comprises a non-peroxide-crosslinkable ethylene acrylic rubber, a non-peroxide-crosslinking agent and a non-halogen flame retardant, wherein the non-halogen flame retardant is present at not less than 60 and less than 80 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the non-peroxide-crosslinkable ethylene acrylic rubber, and wherein the non-halogen flame retardant is surface-treated metal hydroxide being formed by surface treating aluminium hydroxide.

2. A heat-resistant air hose for a diesel engine as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the surface-treated metal hydroxide in the material for forming the outer layer is a metal hydroxide surface-treated with a stearic acid or a silane coupling agent.

3. A heat-resistant air hose for a diesel engine as set forth in claim 1 , wherein a non-peroxide-crosslinking agent for crosslinking the ethylene acrylic rubber for forming the outer layer is hexamethylene diamine carbamate.

4. A heat-resistant air hose for a diesel engine as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the air hose is at least one selected from the group consisting of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) sensor hose; a vacuum brake hose for a diesel engine; an air hose for a diesel engine; and a turbo (supercharger) air hose for a diesel engine.

5. A heat-resistant air hose for a diesel engine as set forth in claim 1 , wherein a non-peroxide-crosslinking agent for forming the outer layer is present in a proportion of 1 to 5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the non-peroxide-crosslinkable ethylene acrylic rubber.
