Mackay utilizes leading edge rubber technology and compounds, supported by in-house processes from rubber mixing to final product. This ensures hoses are made to the strict specifications required for the advanced motor vehicles of the 21st century. In vehicles of today, a hose has to be designed to withstand the stresses of modern, more compact but powerful engines that run hotter and at a higher pressure. Other factors include smaller engine compartments with poor heat dissipation, aggressive coolant additives, and stray (electrochemical) current that may be conducting through the cooling system. In short, the smaller but more powerful engines of today work a lot harder than the larger engines that were standard before. More heat is generated, higher burst pressures are required in cooling system components, and hoses have to be made tougher to withstand these demands. Mackay’s research and development chemists have developed new rubber formulations and manufacturing processes that ensure Mackay hoses meet the greater wear and heat demands created by modern engines. Rubber compounds used in automotive hoses today are predominantly synthetic rubber formulation. All Mackay coolant hoses are made from EPDM compounds that are highly resistant to ozone attack. Hoses made from some other rubber compounds may be subject to ozone deterioration.

Product Features:

• Excellent resistance to high temperatures
• Resists chemical attack (oils, fuels etc.)
• Excellent Ozone resistance
• Good resistance to abrasion
• High resistance to vibration

Gates Vulco-Flex(R) II hose will bend in almost any direction. It easily replicates the angles and planes of a wide variety of expensive original equipment coolant hose, for quick, easy replacement.

Product Features:

• High flexibility for easy installation
• Maximum vehicle coverage with minimum inventory
• Resistant to heat, oil and ozone
• Rated for SAE 20R5 Class D-2 performance
• Temperature Range: up to +257 Deg. F (+125 Deg. C)
• Note: Gates recommends replacing clamps each time a new coolant hose is installed
• Caution: Do not use for fuel or oil transfer applications

Febi engine cooling products are designed and manufactured to exceed original equipment (OE) specifications and are engineered to operate in the highly-stressful environment of today’s higher performance cooling systems. The Febi line of cooling system hoses are designed to meet OE standards and are subjected to rigorous quality and performance tests.

Product Features:

• All cooling-water hose inner linings are resistant to electrochemical cracking
• high strength and resistance to oil, mud, salt, road debris, and ozone
• Resistance to distilled water and water ethylene glycol mixtures
• Resistance to air temperatures of up to 125C

Dayco has combined raw-edge construction and a smooth top to ensure high performance on vehicles and drives that utilize V-belts. The Dayco high performance V-belt delivers more flexibility and increases airflow around the belt so it runs cooler and lasts longer. Three plies of neoprene impregnated fabric resist heat, oil and grease while a specially-formulated treatment of the polyester cord provides the strength, stability and reliability that are required for one of the most innovative, top-performing V-belts.

Product Features:

•  Provides greater durability and flexibility – 35% stronger than all previous versions
• Prevents electromechanical interference issues on modern vehicles
•  Resists heat, oil and grease

Dayco’s high performance HD V-belt is one of the most innovative, top performing belts for its application. By combining raw-edge construction with a specially formulated polyester cord treatment, it offers excellent resistance to repeated flexing and protection against heat, oil and grease as well as the strength, stability and reliability required for vehicles that still need a heavy-duty V-belt.

Product Features:

•  Designed for efficient power transmission to vehicle accessories in today’s trucks and buses
•  Provides greater durability and flexibility – 35% stronger than all previous versions
•  Features specially treated cords for added strength, stability and reliability
• Made with specially formulated rubber compounds, this belt is highly resistant to extreme under hood temperatures that can cause premature damage to under engineered rubber compounds

All ContiTech V-Belts are quiet, OE-quality and virtually service free. The only time these belts require attention is during installation. Designed to be oil-resistant and temperature-stable from -22F to 176F (30C to 80C), ContiTech V-Belts are open-flanked, toothed, and shaped for greater traction and torque. High performance construction features include a synthetic fiber fabric cover, a special polyester cord designed to permit tightly controlled shrink, plus a polychloroprene rubber body, integrally molded cogs, and raw edges.

Product Features:

• OE-Equivalent.
• Direct fit for easy installation.
• Resistant against wear, oil and heat.
• Polyester fiber tensile members and a ribbed belt design.
