Braided automotive hoses are typically made from a combination of synthetic rubber or thermoplastics, reinforced with a braided layer of metal wire or fiber. The braiding can be made from materials such as stainless steel, polyester, or glass fiber, which provides excellent tensile strength and resistance to abrasion, heat, and other environmental factors. The inner tube is designed to carry fluids, while the braided layer enhances the hose's ability to withstand high pressures and prevent the risk of bursting.
