ALTERNATIVE DESIGN OPTIONS - HOSE COVERS

For certain applications, it is an advantage to have a flexible plastic or rubber outer cover extruded on to the hose. The cover provides protection for the braid, as well as being easy to clean, and can be printed with a continuous text line.

Covered hose is, however, only available to special order, so price and availability are very dependent upon quantities required.

Options are:

Flexible PVC (+80°C/+158°F Max.) in transparent or a wide variety of solid or translucent colours.

Nylon 11 (+120°C/+250°F Max.) in natural, semi-transparent or black.

Sarlink, Hytrel, Polyurethane and others may also be available.

EPDM Rubber (+140°C/284°F Max) in Blue or (antistatic) Black.

Silicone Rubber, platinum cured (+200°C/392°F Max.) in natural (semi-transparent) or White.

Other rubbers may also be available.

APPLICATIONS FOR HYPERLINE HOSE

- Automotive and Motorsport : replacing conventional PTFE hoses in ESP systems, fuel systems, braking systems and oil lines.

- Refrigeration : refrigerant feed lines to freezer plates, where the high resistance to permeation, together with the flexibility and chemical resistance, are primary advantages.

- Steam and Gas Lines : where the smooth bore ensures non-turbulent gas flow, leading to noise free operation at higher flow rates, and longer service life.

- Industrial applications in general where the ease of assembly to end fittings together with the higher flow rates, chemical and temperature resistance and resistance to permeation make Hyperline FX the optimum choice.
