  • Low-permeation flexible fuel hose
    Patent number: 10036491
    Abstract: A flexible hose or a tubing having a barrier layer of polyamide 6 having an impact modifier, and/or branched molecular structure, a flexural modulus of 1 to 2 GPa and/or a tensile elongation of 100% or more. The hose may have additional layers such as an HNBR rubber inner tube, an EVM/CPE rubber blend outer cover, a textile or wire reinforcement, or the like. Permeability to ethanol- and methanol-containing fuels is very low. Permeability to B20 biofuels is very low.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 8, 2017
    Date of Patent: July 31, 2018
    Assignee: Gates Corporation
    Inventors: Earl Harris, Lance D. Miller, Dana S. Stripe

  • Low-Permeation Flexible Fuel Hose
    Publication number: 20090123683
    Abstract: A flexible hose having a non-fluorinated rubber inner tube, a non-fluorinated rubber outer cover, an intermediate barrier layer consisting essentially of ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) having an ethylene content less than 30 mole %, and preferably a textile reinforcement between said barrier layer and said outer cover. A non-fluorinated rubber tie layer may be included between the barrier and the reinforcement. Permeability to ethanol- and methanol-containing fuels is very low.
