High-performance EPDM rubber hose: the choice of high-quality oil-resistant pipelines
2025-06-26 15:05:05
In modern industrial applications, EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, referred to as EPDM) is widely used due to its excellent physical and chemical properties. Especially in transportation and pipeline systems, EPDM smooth oil-resistant pipeline braided rubber hose stands out from many choices with its unique characteristics and has become the only choice for many industries.
What is EPDM smooth oil-resistant hose?
EPDM smooth oil-resistant hose is a high-performance product made of EPDM rubber. Its smooth surface design and embedded braided structure make it an ideal choice for dealing with a variety of extreme environments. Such pipes are usually used to transport liquids and gases, and have good oil resistance and corrosion resistance. They are widely used in automobile manufacturing, petrochemicals, shipbuilding, engineering machinery and construction.
Characteristics of EPDM rubber
EPDM rubber is known for its excellent weather resistance and ozone resistance. It can maintain stable properties in the environment of long-term sunlight and wind and rain, and is not easy to age. In addition, EPDM rubber also has excellent heat resistance and low-temperature flexibility. It can maintain good elasticity and structural integrity in the temperature range of -50°C to +150°C. This property makes EPDM rubber particularly suitable for applications with extreme temperature changes, such as oil pipe systems around automobile engines.
Oil resistance
Although EPDM rubber is not as resistant to mineral oil as NBR (nitrile rubber), after adding a specific formula, EPDM smooth oil-resistant pipe has good oil resistance, especially when exposed to biodiesel and other oil-based liquids, showing good stability. This property makes it an ideal choice for many industrial applications with oil as the medium.
Advantages of braided structure
Compared with ordinary pipes, braided pipes have higher pressure bearing capacity and resistance to physical damage. During the manufacturing process, the tensile strength and wear resistance of the rubber pipe are greatly enhanced by embedding reinforcing braided layers of different materials (usually high-strength fibers such as polyester and nylon) between the rubber. This design not only extends the service life of the pipe, but also improves its safety and reliability in harsh environments.
Application areas
1. Automobile industry: EPDM smooth oil-resistant pipes are widely used in oil pipelines, cooling system pipelines and exhaust gas recirculation devices in automobile engine systems due to their heat resistance and anti-aging properties.
2. Petrochemicals: In the petrochemical industry, pipelines often need to transport different types of oils and chemical solvents. EPDM rubber pipes are an ideal choice due to their improved oil resistance and excellent resistance to chemical corrosion.
3. Shipbuilding: Ship structures need to operate for a long time in humid and salt spray environments. EPDM pipelines have become the main material in ship pipeline systems due to their anti-aging and anti-corrosion properties.
4. Engineering machinery and construction: High-pressure pipeline systems for hydraulic and pneumatic equipment require extremely high pressure resistance and environmental adaptability in pipeline transportation, and EPDM oil-resistant pipes perform well in this regard.
Advantages summary
1. Strong environmental adaptability: Excellent weather resistance and ozone resistance allow EPDM smooth rubber pipes to be used for a long time in any external environment without worrying about the deterioration of their physical and chemical properties.
2. High pressure-bearing performance: The braided structure improves its pressure resistance and overall strength, making it perform well in high-pressure transportation.
3. High cost-effectiveness: For applications that are exposed to ultraviolet rays, acidic substances or oxidizing environments for a long time, under the same conditions, the service life of EPDM rubber pipes is significantly improved, reducing replacement and maintenance costs.
4. Diversified applications: Due to its superior comprehensive performance, EPDM oil-resistant pipes can adapt to various industrial and commercial needs and provide customized transmission solutions.
EPDM smooth oil-resistant pipeline braided rubber hose is widely used in many fields due to its unique environmental resistance, temperature resistance and oil resistance, providing users with efficient and reliable transmission solutions. In the future, with the further increase in demand for high-performance materials and the continuous breakthrough of EPDM technology, it is believed that this rubber hose will exert its infinite potential in a wider range of fields.
