As today's engines increasingly demand smaller, lighter, stronger components, Gates® OE-exact and OE-quality vehicle engine components get ahead of these trends to innovate in the aftermarket. We factory-mold our small I.D. coolant hoses to exact manufacturer specifications, guaranteeing late model coverage for the vehicles of tomorrow.
When creating our molded coolant hose, we wanted to tackle the leading cause of hose failure: Electrochemical Degradation, or ECD, occurs when the hose, liquid coolant and engine/radiator fittings form a galvanic cell or "battery", which create a chemical reaction that causes micro-cracks to form in the hose tube. Coolant seeps into these cracks or striations and begins to break down the reinforcement, leading to hose failure and ultimately roadside breakdowns.
We worked to engineer our EPDM coolant hose material compound with superior electrochemical resistance, so your Gates® coolant hoses will last longer and keep your engine systems running stronger.
