Fire Resistant Coolant Hoses
Fire Resistant Coolant Hoses
Silicone Hoses with Polyester and Meta-aramid Fabric reinforcement
Fire retardant or low smoke-low toxicity hoses manufactured from specially formulated silicone compounds that burn less than standard silicones and tend to self-extinguish.
Fire retardant silicone hoses are typically used in passenger transportation:
- Railway OEM or overhaul
- Locomotives and passenger carriages
- Buses and coaches.
Designed not to release hazardous gases, have low smoke and to be self-extinguishing
