If you have already read our last blog, then you know that using silicone tubing for your radiator can benefit you in many ways. To recap, we discussed that silicone will last longer, come off easier, and will look better than its rubber counterparts. If you have been sitting on the edge of your seat waiting to learn more, then you are in the luck! The following is the rest of our list of the top benefits of using silicone tubing instead of rubber tubing for your radiator:

• Temperature range- Rubber has a fairly limited temperature range, and anything beyond its normal range could cause it to crack, split, bulge, or even break down altogether, which could leave you with an overheated engine if you aren't careful. Alternatively, silicone can stand strong in a wide range of temperatures. Keep in mind that the exact temperature range will depend on the brand that you buy.
• Great for heavy duty users- Whether you race your car for a living or you just have a killer commute to work everyday, silicone is strong enough to work well for heavy duty drivers everywhere. That is because silicone has a very high burst strength rating. 

Although silicone hoses may be a bigger investment initially than rubber hoses, they are a wonderful addition to any engine, and because they last longer than rubber, it is an investment that will eventually pay off.
