Abstract

A hose for gasohol fuel including an inner layer containing at least one selected from (A) to (D) below and an alcohol-cut off layer including a rubber composition containing a butyl rubber, a hydrated hydrotalcite compound, and a 1,8-diazabicyclo(5,4,0)undecene-7 salt (DBU salt): (A) a tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene-vinylidene fluoride terpolymer or a tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene-vinylidene fluoride-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether tetrapolymer; (B) a polyamide resin; (C) a fluororubber; and (D) NBR or NBR-PVC.

Claims (15)

1. A hose for gasohol fuel comprising:

a tubular inner layer, and

an alcohol-cut off layer formed at an outer periphery of the inner layer,

wherein the inner layer includes a composition containing at least one selected from the group consisting of (A), (B), and (D) below, and the alcohol-cut off layer includes a rubber composition containing a butyl rubber, a hydrated hydrotalcite compound, and a 1,8-diazabicyclo(5,4,0)undecene-7 salt (DBU salt):

(A) a tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene-vinylidene fluoride-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether tetrapolymer;

(B) a polyamide resin; and

(D) one of an acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber and a blend material of an acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber and polyvinyl chloride.

2. The hose for gasohol fuel according to claim 1 , wherein the butyl rubber is at least one of a regular butyl rubber and a halogenated butyl rubber.

3. The hose for gasohol fuel according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of the hydrated hydrotalcite compound relative to 100 parts by weight of the butyl rubber is in the range of 1 to 15 parts by weight.

4. The hose for gasohol fuel according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of the DBU salt relative to 100 parts by weight of the butyl rubber is in the range of 0.1 to 3 parts by weight.

5. The hose for gasohol fuel according to claim 1 , further comprising a layer including a rubber composition containing an acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, the layer being disposed between the inner layer and the alcohol-cut off layer.

6. The hose for gasohol fuel according to claim 1 , further comprising a layer including a rubber composition containing the acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, the layer being disposed at the inner periphery of the inner layer.

7. The hose for gasohol fuel according to claim 5 , wherein a rubber component in the rubber composition containing the acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber is one of a blend rubber of the acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber and polyvinyl chloride and the acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber alone.

8. The hose for gasohol fuel according to claim 6 , wherein a rubber component in the rubber composition containing an acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber is one of a blend rubber of the acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber and polyvinyl chloride and the acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber alone.

9. The hose for gasohol fuel according to claim 1 , wherein the polyamide resin is one of polyamide 6 and polyamide 11.
