Abstract
A refrigerant hose for an air conditioner has an inner wall layer formed of a laminate of an inner resin layer and an outer rubber layer bonded by its vulcanization to the resin layer. The rubber layer is of a composition comprising butyl rubber, an adhesive material based on resorcinol and a vulcanizing agent based on an alkylphenol-formaldehyde resin, and having a bromine content of at least 0.5% by weight. The hose having the inner wall layer surrounded by a reinforcing layer and an outer wall layer exhibits a high adhesive strength even at an elevated temperature between its refrigerant-impermeable resin layer and its water-impermeable rubber layer.
