The fluorosilicone hoses use a specially compounded silicone called FluoroSilicone. This is specially formulated to prevent oil from penetrating the wall. Standard Silicone hose is porous, and not resistant to oil, which swells the silicone and permeates through wall of the hose.
The fluorosilicone hose is good for use in those applications that require the best possible resistance to oils and chemicals. Where oil, fuel and or, chemicals may be present in turbocharger and other air or exhaust gas systems, it is a good choice to use fluorosilicone hose. The fluorosilicone hose can be produced in various colors, such as orange, blue, black, green, etc.
