Mandrel Formed Hoses

Formed fabric reinforced silicone hoses are made in a manufacturing process where silicone rubber is formed on a mandrel along with fabric reinforcing layers and often with a chemical resistant liner like FKM or fluorosilicone.

Cleanliness of Rubber Product (ASTM 5774, SAE J1726)

A common requirement for hoses that we manufacturer is a level of cleanliness when tested to SAE J1726. In these tests we are able to quantify the level of particles in the inside of these hoses and ensure that they meet the level of cleanliness that our customers need and to minimize the amount of foreign objects that our products bring to the system.

Adhesion (ASTM D429, ISO 36)

In hoses excellent adhesion of the rubber to fabric is critical for the performance of the hose. Delamination is a common failure in hoses. It is critical to measure the adhesion strength of rubber to the substates. In hoses it is common for fabrics to be added to provide additional strength including nomex (m-aramid), polyester and more. Most rubbers compounds do not have good adhesion to these fabrics without special additives in the compound. Rubber Mexico has lots of experience with developing compounds that adhere well to extruded fabric reinforced hoses, and formed/wrapped hoses.
