In a hydraulic brake system, when the brake pedal is pressed, a pushrod exerts a force on the piston(s) in the master cylinder, causing fluid from the brake fluid reservoir to flow into a pressure chamber through a compensating port. The system transmits brake-pedal force to the wheel brakes by pressurized fluid flowing through brake hose, converting the fluid pressure into useful work of braking at the wheels. Therefore, the brake hose plays a critical role in the transmission of hydraulic fluid.

Brake hydraulic oil is a type of high-temperature oil, which generally tends to be corrosive. The oil is more resistant to a high temperature that is more corrosive. Normal rubber and silicone materials are not able to withstand high temperatures and corrosive liquids. In order to increase the strength, a layer of stainless steel net is covered to the brake hose outer layer to increase the rigidity and to reduce the pressure from the extension, so that the braking system becomes more sensitive.

In order to meet both requirements of corrosion resistance and high-temperature resistance, DuPont Chemical from the USA invented the Teflon ™ material during the Second World War, which mainly used to transmit high concentration corrosive liquid in nuclear power facilities. The Teflon has high strength, high-temperature resistance and corrosion resistance characteristics. Therefore, PPE uses the DuPont Chemical's Teflon pipeline (the same material used in nuclear power facilities for critical and high-corrosive liquid transmission) and the high-strength and high-tension stainless steel net to make excellent stainless steel brake hose. PPE brake hose is SAE JS1401 certified to ensure compliance with safety standards. The hose tested up to 300 bar, three times more than the 100 bar of the general racing requirement.

With PPE years of experience in the motorsport industry, we found that most of the problems of brake hose occur in installations, the incorrect direction of brake hose will cause interference with other components such as shock absorbers, wheels, axles, resulting in wear and oil leaking. Therefore, PPE uses full-floating design on the brake hose, which gives the greatest flexibility for the installation process and ensuring the oil tank will be in place with any direction of hose. This flexibility not only achieves quick and easy installation process but improving efficiency and safety and also reducing errors occurred. The different shapes of hose fittings are also developed for different installation requirements, ensuring that the brake hose can be firmly installed and in position properly in different car models.
