The hose refers to that made of rubber or that composed of cloth covered rubber between fabric strands or inside and outside. Its function is to transport fluid between parts to supply power, coolant, lubricant and fuel to each system.
The reinforced braid inserts the reinforced layer between rubber layers to withstand the pressure when the pressure builds in the hose. Depending on the twisting method and the weaving method, the external quality and the durability performance of the hose increase.
Denier :
The unit of strand thickness. When the strand length is 450m and its weight is 0.05g, it is 1 denier.
That is, the strand weight (g) per 9000m is the denier
Ex) For a 9000m long strand, if its weight is 1000g, it is 1000 deniers and if 1,500g, 1500 deniers.

The recent automotive trend is focused on technologies on small-sized and lightweight body and high powered power train demanded by high performance and low fuel consumption requirements. Consequently, engine vibration and noise of the car, which gets lighter, increase by 10% or more compared to previous models.
The vibration insulation performance improvement of auto parts has emerged to be very important in the sensible vehicle development. Possible ways to insulate solid borne sound are to increase rigidity of the car body or parts, the damper mounted on the transmission and introduction of electronic parts. However, problems are increased fuel consumption due to increased weight and excessive cost increase. Enhanced insulation of the rubber hose,
one of transmission parts, is one of the effective ways for blocking intrusion of solid borne sound. We are focusing on performance enhancement of the rubber hose by continuous new material and new technology development.
The function of the hose is to transport fluid between parts to supply power, coolant, lubricant
and fuel to each system.
In addition, it has excellent insulation effect on vibration and noise between parts.
