Why are Hoses Reinforced with Meta-Aramid Fabric?

Wondering why the hose is reinforced with meta-aramid fabric? Read the blog to learn why rubber and silicone hoses are reinforced with meta-aramid fabrics.

Reasons for "wrapping" rubber and silicone hoses with meta-aramid fabric reinforcement are:

• Hose works at high temperatures

• Hose exposed to some aggressive coolants

Combined with the above facts, pressure cycling is becoming more and more demanding as global emission standards continue to change.

When you buy a meta-aramid reinforced hose, you want it to perform in the toughest conditions. High temperatures, often high operating pressures, and misalignment of adjacent components can sometimes increase hose demands. Fire resistance is another factor.
