Some people think that silicone hose oil resistant, and some people think that silicone hoses are not oil-resistant, so whether they are oil-resistant. Today I will share the answer with you.
Silicone hose is not oil-resistant
Because，silicone hoses are porous. That’s why you don’t use silicone for fuels and oils. The material of this tube is relatively good, and the practicality of this tube is relatively high, and the scope of application is relatively wide.
Secondly, the silicone tube is a complex of silica and water, which is an inorganic substance, so it will not have similar compatibility with the engine oil.
Although silicone hose is not oil-resistant, it has the characteristics of high and low temperature resistance, oil resistance, etc. can be used for a long time at -60 ° C ~ 250 ° C, has excellent high temperature resistance (250-300 ° C) and low temperature resistance (-40-60 ° C) performance.Secondly, The operating temperature range of silicone rubber can be from -100°C to 350°C. It has excellent thermal oxygen aging resistance, ozone aging resistance , light aging resistance and weather aging resistance; it has good electrical insulation.
