Abstract

The present invention provides a hose excellent in mechanical properties at high temperatures. The hose of the present invention comprises a cross-linked fluororubber layer obtainable by cross-linking a fluororubber composition containing a fluororubber (A) and a carbon black (B). The cross-linked fluororubber layer has a loss modulus E″ of 400 kPa or higher and 6,000 kPa or lower determined by a dynamic viscoelasticity test (measurement temperature: 160° C., tensile strain: 1%, initial force: 157 cN, frequency: 10 Hz).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A multilayer hose comprising a laminate of:
a first layer which is a cross-linked fluororubber layer obtained by cross-linking a fluororubber composition containing a fluororubber (A), a carbon black (B) and a tackifier in an amount of 1 to 20 parts by mass to 100 parts by mass of the fluororubber (A),
the cross-linked fluororubber layer having a loss modulus E″ of 400 kPa or higher and 6,000 kPa or lower determined by a dynamic viscoelasticity test under conditions of measurement temperature: 160° C., tensile strain: 1%, initial force: 157 cN, and frequency: 10 Hz, and
a second layer selected from the group consisting of a rubber layer including a rubber different from that of the first layer, a thermoplastic resin layer, a fiber-reinforced layer and a metallic foil layer, and
wherein the tackifier is coumarone resin,
wherein the fluororubber (A) is a vinylidene fluoride copolymer rubber, a tetrafluoroethylene/perfluoro(alkyl vinyl ether) copolymer rubber, or a tetrafluoroethylene/propylene copolymer rubber, and
wherein the carbon black (B) is at least one selected from the group consisting of N234, ISAF, ISAF-LS, ISAF-HS and IISAF.

2. The multilayer hose according to claim 1 ,
