Thermoplastic and PTFE Hoses – When Rubber Isn't Enough
Applications for specialty materials are necessary in some environments even though rubber hoses cover most hydraulic and industrial needs.
Thermoplastic Hose (SAE 100R7 and R8) and PTFE Hose (SAE 100 R14) from Vector Hose provides unrivaled chemical compatibility, reduced weight, and temperature extremes. Thermoplastic Hose has a polyamide (PA) inner tube, a polyester or aramid fiber braid and a polyurethane cover. It is light in weight, flexible and resistant to hydraulic oils, water based fluids and air. Temperature ranges: For fluids -40°C to +93°C, for water/air up to +65°C. Our Thermoplastic Hose is ideal for mobile equipment, lube lines, blowout preventers and hydraulic lifts.
SAE 100R8 uses aramid (Kevlar-like) braid as reinforcement. Get PTFE Hose with SS304/SS316 stainless steel braid for the maximum chemical resistance and temperature range (-54°C +204°C). It can be used with almost all the corrosive and high-purity chemicals and fluids, and steam. Teflon Hose for food processing and pharmaceutical use in Vector Hose. Lightweight Hose - When working In Robotics or Overhead Lines, Thermoplastic helps reduce operator fatigue. CO2 High Pressure Hose with PTFE core anti permeation for high pressure gas (CO2 - Nitrogen). Our Flexible Hose Pipe in PTFE is easy to clean and it is resistant to kinking. Combine aqua stainless Hose Coupling and Hydraulic Hose Crimping tools for thermoplastic/PTFE ferrules. Vector Hose provides low-friction, non-contaminating solutions for situations where you can't use rubber.
