Press Release Summary: Purosil's fluorocarbon lined hoses, using premium DuPont
Viton elastomer, are designed to resist diesel fuel combustion byproducts as well as

failures and increasing maintenance intervals.

Press Release Body: Purosil announces a new series of fluorocarbon lined silicone
hoses for the new generation of EPA compliant engines.

Purosil's fluorocarbon lined hoses, using premium DuPont Viton elastomer, are
designed to resist diesel fuel combustion byproducts as well as alcohols and fuel
additives. The development of Purosil's fluorocarbon program began in 2005 with the
goal to reduce truck operating lifetime costs by preventing failures and increasing
maintenance intervals.

The superior barrier properties of Viton fluoroelastomer make Purosil's FC class of
hoses "best in class" for containing crankcase emissions. Viton has five times
better barrier properties than fluorosilicone and ten times better barrier
properties than chloroprene when used in hydrocarbon containing environments.
Purosil's design also offers an excellent chemical bond between the fluorocarbon
liner and the silicone rubber composite structure. Fluorocarbon hoses have a
continuous operating temperature of 235° C or 455° F and low temperature
capabilities down to -43°C or -45° F. With the combination of aramid fabric,
silicone rubber and fluorocarbon liner Purosil products provide exemplary
performance and enhanced features

Purosil manufactures a full array of Coolant, Heater, Turbocharger and Charge Air
Cooler (CAC) hoses for all ranges of diesel engines. Purosil products are available
through local distributors and heavy duty part outlets throughout North America.

Established in 1958, Purosil serves the Marine, Automotive, Construction, Heavy Duty
Truck and Coach Industries through the production of high quality EPDM air intake
and silicone hose products. A pioneer in silicone hose manufacturing, Purosil is a
leader in the implementation of high strength and heat resistant materials in its
