AFLEX HOSE LTD
Aflex Hose was established as a PTFE hose manufacturing company in 1973 and, since then, has led the world in inventing and developing all the major innovations in PTFE hose design for use in process fluids transfer applications.
CORROLINE Hose is the latest addition to the Aflex Hose product range.
CORROLINE HOSE
Corroline hose has been developed specifically to provide a new smooth bore PTFE lined hose product range which combines excellent flexibility with excellent resistance to kinking and crushing.
Corroline hose is therefore well suited for use in Chemical Plants and other applications where the advantages of a smooth, clean PTFE liner are required together with the ability to withstand rough handling much better than alternative hose products.
Technically trained Aflex Hose sales staff are available to respond quickly and effectively to every kind of enquiry, and to advise the optimum hose solution for any application.>
OTHER PRODUCTS
Aflex Hose also manufactures many more PTFE hose products for use in specific Process Fluid transfer applications. Corroflon, Bioflex, Pharmaline and Pharmalex are described in other brochures and information is also available on the Aflex Hose website.
ROLLING 'U' TEST
The Rolling 'U' test is one of many tests carried out at Aflex Hose to prove hose suitability in application.
The Rolling 'U' Test is designed to determine the flex life capabililites of hose products. Corroline has proved to have at least 100 times the flex life to failure when tested alongside the best of the competitors’ PTFE lined hose products.
