All Pharmaline and Pharmalex hose assemblies are labelled with the following information:
- Manufacturers Name (Aflex Hose Ltd)
- Hose Size and Grade
- Max. Working Pressure
- Unique Serial Number
- Month & Year of Manufacture
- Aflex Hose Telephone Number
- CE Mark (if applicable)
This information is normally vibro-etched on to a loose stainless steel ring mounted on the hose.

In some cases, at the discretion of Aflex Hose, the information may be etched on to a thin stainless steel plate which is clamped to the hose, or on to the end fitting ferrule at one end. This may be necessary for example, if the customer requires additional information which may not fit on to a ring.

Customers may specify which labelling system they require, and may request additional information on the label.

Puretag Labelling and Colour Coding (Patent Pending)
A label and/or Colour Code is encapsulated on to the braid by a transparent platinum cured silicone rubber cover which is integrally vulcanised and fully bonded to the rubber cover on the hose. The label is replaceable if required.

Another alternative is an RFID programmable tag, encapsulated in the rubber (Aflex Hose 'Flowtag' System) - consult Aflex Hose for details.

Further information is available on the Puretag product information document on this website.

Colour Coding
A coloured PTFE spiral strip is wound on to the hose.

It can be left loose, or it can be encapsulated under a transparent, heat-shrunk polyolefin sleeve.
