Chlorobutyl rubber has excellent heat resistance and is less permeable to gases than other synthetic rubbers.

These characteristics provide for a steam hose with improved life expectancy.

Not only does the tube compound not age so quickly, but it absorbs much less steam.

When steam hoses cycle from hot to cold, the steam that has been absorbed into the steam hose tube condenses.

When it is suddenly re-heated, the water can vaporize and cause tiny "explosions" into the tube.

The result is an effect called "popcorning" where the hose bore appears to have bubbled.

Chlorobutyl rubber has improved resistance to this effect.

Please note, all steam hoses will last longer if they are drained after each use.

Water that is left in steam hose tends to be absorbed into the tube compound.

When the hose is rapidly reheated, the condensed moisture vaporizes in the rubber compound causing blistering of the tube.

In general, steam hoses are not a substitute for steel piping and should not be used in manifold systems or any other permanent installation.
