Silcell Hoses (Platinum Lined / Fuel Cell Hoses)

Silcell hoses are advanced platinum-lined silicone hoses engineered for applications requiring ultra-low permeation, high purity, and resistance to aggressive fuels and gases.

Designed for fuel cell systems and next-generation energy applications, Silcell hoses combine the performance of silicone with a specialist platinum-cured inner liner, delivering exceptional reliability in highly sensitive environments.

  • Ultra-low permeation for fuel cell applications
  • Platinum-lined for high purity and performance
  • Resistant to fuels, gases and aggressive media
  • Suitable for advanced energy and high-spec systems

What are Silcell Hoses?

Silcell hoses (also known as SCSH hoses) are specialist silicone hoses featuring a platinum-cured inner liner, designed to provide enhanced chemical resistance, reduced permeation, and high purity performance.

The platinum lining improves the hose’s ability to:

  • Resist fuel and gas permeation
  • Maintain integrity in chemically aggressive environments
  • Deliver consistent performance in precision systems

This makes Silcell hoses particularly suited to fuel cell, hydrogen, and advanced energy applications, where standard silicone hoses are not sufficient.

  • Key Features and Benefits

    Ultra-Low Permeation – Designed to minimise the transfer of gases and fuels through the hose wall, critical for fuel cell efficiency and safety.

    High Purity Performance – Platinum-cured liner ensures minimal contamination, ideal for sensitive and regulated environments.

    Chemical & Fuel Resistance – Resistant to a wide range of fuels, gases, and aggressive media used in modern energy systems.

    High Temperature Capability – Operates effectively in demanding environments, typically from -50°C to +200°C, depending on specification.

    Long Service Life – Engineered for durability in continuous-use applications, reducing maintenance and system downtime.

  • What OAT Hoses Are Used For

    Silcell hoses are used in advanced applications where low permeation and high purity are essential:

    • Fuel cell systems
    • Hydrogen and alternative energy applications
    • Automotive and EV cooling systems
    • High-performance and specialist vehicles
    • Industrial gas and fluid transfer systems
    • Marine and rail applications requiring advanced materials

  • Sizes, Lengths, Angles

    • Inner diameters (ID): From 6mm to 152mm
    • Straight: Available as standard in 1, 2, 3 and 4 metre lengths. Other lengths can be requested.
    • Elbows: 45°, 90°, 135°, 180° with leg lengths from 102mm to 250mm.
    • External Colours: Full range of colours available.

Why Platinum-Lined Hoses Are Required

Standard silicone hoses (VMQ) offer excellent temperature resistance but can allow permeation of gases and fuels, which is not acceptable in sensitive systems such as fuel cells.

Platinum-lined hoses are engineered to:

  • Reduce gas and fuel permeation to extremely low levels
  • Maintain purity within the system
  • Prevent contamination and performance loss
  • Deliver long-term stability under continuous operation

This makes them essential for applications where efficiency, safety, and precision are critical.
