The present invention relates to an automotive hose having at least one rubber layer comprising from about 60 to about 95 parts by weight of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVM), and from about 5 to about 40 parts by weight of polyacrylic rubber (ACM).

Hose construction containing polymer composition

The present invention is directed to a method for manufacturing a curved hose. The method is comprised of the steps of (a) forming a hose assembly, the hose assembly comprising: (i) an innermost layer of a halogenated polyolefin rubber; (ii) a polyester reinforcement overlaying the innermost layer, the reinforcement having disposed on its surface an RFL adhesive comprising a chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber; and (iii) an elastomeric cover overlaying the braided reinforcement; (b) cutting the hose assembly into hose lengths; (c) shaping the hose lengths into predetermined curved hose shapes; and (d) curing the curved hose shapes.

Method of making curved hose

A hose/clamp combination wherein the clamp is oriented axially and circumferentially in its radially open position and held in place by a glued fabric overlay.

Method of producing a hose/clamp combination and a hose/clamp assembly produced thereby
