REDOX hydrocarbon silicone hoses represent the advanced technical solution for applications requiring direct contact with fuel, oil and other hydrocarbons. Featuring a special hydrocarbon-resistant inner layer, these hoses combine the flexibility of external VMQ silicone with an internal chemical barrier preventing degradation. Available in 11 references including straight sleeves, 90° elbows, double hump sleeve and hoses by the meter, with diameters from 8mm to 220mm and varied lengths from 60mm to 1 meter as needed.

Our very large stock guarantees permanent availability of these specialized technical products. Orders placed before 5pm ship the same day, with GLS delivery within 48 hours maximum throughout Europe. This responsiveness meets critical needs of professionals facing specific fuel and oil applications requiring durable solutions immediately.

Main applications: fuel circuits, oil recovery systems, crankcase ventilation, fuel return lines, injection systems, industrial applications with permanent hydrocarbon contact. Unlike standard silicone hoses that only resist vapors, this range supports direct and permanent contact with fuels and lubricants. Essential solution for engine preparations requiring absolute reliability in chemically aggressive environments. Advantageously replaces traditional nitrile rubber hoses with superior lifespan and maintained flexibility.

FAQ

Q1: What's the difference between hydrocarbon silicone and standard VMQ silicone? A: Hydrocarbon hoses have a special inner layer resisting permanent direct contact with fuel and oil. Standard VMQ silicone only resists vapors. This barrier layer prevents hydrocarbon penetration that would degrade normal silicone. Essential for fuel and oil circuits.

Q2: Are these hoses suitable for E85 bioethanol? A: The hydrocarbon-resistant inner layer is designed for modern fuels including unleaded petrol and ethanol blends. For specific E85 compatibility, we recommend consulting us to confirm suitability for your application.

Q3: Can I use these hoses for my engine oil circuit? A: Absolutely. The inner layer perfectly resists synthetic and mineral engine oils. These hoses are ideal for oil return lines, crankcase breathers and all circuits requiring permanent hot oil contact.

Q4: How to visually identify a hydrocarbon hose? A: The interior usually shows different color than exterior due to special layer. This inner layer may have slightly different texture. Product labeling always specifies "hydrocarbon resistant" or "hydrocarbon inner layer".

Q5: Do these hoses support the same temperatures as standard silicones? A: Thermal resistance may vary depending on inner layer composition. These hoses retain excellent thermal properties suitable for automotive applications, but maximum temperatures may differ from pure VMQ silicone. Consult specifications for each reference.

Q6: Do your 11 references cover all possible applications? A: Our range includes most requested diameters and shapes: straight sleeves, elbows, reducers and hoses by meter from 8mm to 220mm. For specific needs not covered, our custom service can develop adapted solutions.

Q7: What's the lifespan compared to nitrile rubber hoses? A: Hydrocarbon silicone hoses offer significantly superior lifespan. They don't harden, maintain flexibility and better resist thermal cycles. Higher initial investment is offset by increased longevity and reliability.
