I always like split loom for that purpose, but it can really be anything that will withstand the temps of a coolant hose. You could use silicone tape, or even electrical tape for that matter.
Search google, or amazon, for hose sleeve. All kinds of these products for high heat.

this.
to keep it in place, I use a couple of zip ties.
i use this method to protect any hoses or wiring that can/will rub on other parts.the split loom is good, as well.

The zip ties won't melt?

I do this also. For hoses that site very close or actually contact the head I use hose clamps instead of zip ties.

I do this as well, and if I am REALLY worried/OCD about abrasion, I put the split plastic loom AND the self stick silicone tape over that!

You can buy zip ties that are made of stainless steel.
