Custom Silicone Hoses
Silicone hoses play a crucial role in the marine industry, offering a range of benefits that make them well-suited for applications in harsh marine environments. These hoses are made from silicone rubber, a synthetic material known for its durability, flexibility and resistance to extreme temperatures and environmental conditions. They are an essential component in ensuring the reliability and efficiency of marine vessels, from small boats to large ships. Here at Viper Performance, we can customise bespoke silicone hoses for a variety of marine applications.
Corrosion Resistance
Silicone hoses are highly resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for marine environments where exposure to saltwater and other corrosive elements is common. Unlike metal components, silicone hoses won’t rust or corrode over time, ensuring reliable performance and longevity in marine applications.
Chemical Resistance
Silicone hoses are resistant to many chemicals, including saltwater, oil and coolant, which are commonly encountered in marine applications. This resistance prevents the hoses from deteriorating, therefore avoiding leaks and system failures.
UV Resistance
Silicone hoses are inherently resistant to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is prevalent in marine environments due to constant exposure to sunlight. This UV resistance helps prevent degradation and deterioration of the hose material, maintaining its structural integrity and performance over extended periods of time, even in harsh sunlight.
Environmental Resistance
Beyond chemical resistance, silicone hoses are also resistant to extreme weather conditions, including direct sunlight, heavy rains and high humidity, all of which are common in marine environments.
