An air hose for an automobile, which has a two-layered structure of an inner tube made of an NBR composition and an outer cover made of a CSM composition, wherein the NBR composition satisfies (A) and (B) below: (A) an unvulcanized NBR in which an amount of AN is 30 to 50 and a Mooney viscosity (ML (1+4) 100° C.) is 50 to 90, is vulcanized in the presence of 0.5 to 7.0 parts by mass of a thiuram compound serving as a vulcanization accelerator, 0 to 2.5 parts by mass of 4,4′-dithio dimorpholine, and 2.0 to 7.0 parts by mass of a thiazole compound to 100 parts by mass of the unvulcanized NBR; and (B) 5 to 50 parts by mass of a plasticizer having a molecular weight of 700 to 2,000 is blended to 100 parts by mass of the unvulcanized NBR. |
