Abstract

A fuel hose according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a tubular inner rubber layer; a resin layer formed on an outer circumferential surface of the inner rubber layer; and an outer rubber layer formed on an outer circumferential surface of the resin layer, wherein the inner rubber layer includes a rubber material containing the following Components (A), (B) and (C), the outer rubber layer includes a rubber material containing the following Components (A′), (B) and (C′), and the resin layer includes a resin material containing the following Component (X) as a main component: (A) acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, (A′) blend rubber containing acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber and acrylic rubber, (B) a sulfur vulcanizing agent, (C) an amine catalyst to form bonding points, (C′) an amine catalyst to form bonding points, which contains 1,5-diazabicyclo(4.3.0)non-5-ene salt (DBN salt), and (X) tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoro(alkylvinylether)-chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer.

Claims (18)

1. A fuel hose, comprising:

a tubular inner rubber layer,

a resin layer formed on an outer circumferential surface of the inner rubber layer;

and an outer rubber layer formed on an outer circumferential surface of the resin layer, wherein the inner rubber layer comprises a rubber material comprising the following Components (A), (B), and (C),

wherein the outer rubber layer comprises a rubber material comprising the following Components (A′), (B), and (C′),

wherein the resin layer comprises a resin material comprising the following Component (X) as a main component:

(A) acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber,

(A′) blend rubber comprising acrylonitrile-butadiene acrylic rubber and ethylene acrylic rubber,

(B) a sulfur vulcanizing agent,

(C) an amine catalyst to form bonding points,

(C′) an amine catalyst to form bonding points, which comprises 1,5-diazabicyclo(4.3.0)non-5-ene salt and 1,8-diazabicyclo(5.4.0)undec-7-ene salt,

and (X) tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoro(alkylvinylether)-chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer and wherein the ratio of 1,5-diazabicyclo(4.3.0)non-5-ene salt and 1,8-diazabicyclo(5.4.0)undec-7-ene salt is from 1/10 to 1/0.1,

and wherein in the Component (A′) the blending ratio of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber to acrylic rubber is in the weight ratio of 90/10 to 80/20.

2. The fuel hose according to claim 1 , wherein a content Component (A) is 40% by weight or more of the whole inner layer material.

3. The fuel hose according to claim 1 , wherein in Component (A′) an amount of acrylonitrile in the acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber is in the range of 25 to 60 weight percent.

4. The fuel hose according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of Component (B) to be mixed per 100 parts by weight of Component (A) is in a range of 0.2 to 5 parts by weight.

5. The fuel hose according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of Component (C) to be mixed per 100 parts by weight of the Component (A) is in the range of from 1 to 20 parts by weight.

6. The fuel hose according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of Component (C′) to be mixed per 100 parts by weight of Component (A′) is in the range of from 1 to 20 parts by weight.
