ADVANTAGES OF TEFLON FOR FLEXIBLE HOSE
Teflon is an ideal material for flexible hose, to which a wire over-braid is added for excellent pressure ratings. Such hose gives extremely long life because its innercore has outstanding resistance to steam, chemicals, solvent, heat, pressure impulses, flexing, vibration, and aging.
Flexible : |
Hose of Teflon will stand up under severe conditions of continous flexing and vibration without failure from flex fatigue. |
Chemical resistant : |
Inert Teflon creates a nearly "Universal" hose, capable of handling the broadest range of applications. Except the molten alkali metals such as sodium and potassium, and fluorochemicals such as chlorine trifloride, oxygen difluoride and flurine gas. |
Temperature resistant : |
Even handles 350ºF steam alternating with cold water.. |
Non-stick : |
Hose is easily cleaned, to maintain batch purity when using one hose for several services. |
Low friction: |
Hose exhibits low pressure drop, which remains constant because no deposits accumulate on inside walls. |
Moisture resistant : |
Ideal for pneumatic systems requiring low dew point. |
Non-aging : |
Properties of hose do not change with age or exposure to weather. |
End Connection : |
Swaged or crimped or Reusable type. |
