Composite hoses are most commonly used in the transfer of chemicals. With the bore of the hose made from wide varieties of plastics including polypropylene, Teflon and nylon. Most common chemicals can be accommodated by the many different styles of composite hose available, while maintaining strength, durability and flexibility. They generally have a working temperature range of -20°C (-4°F) to +80°C (176°F).
Standard lengths vary with size and can be cut and coupled with a wide range of fittings upon customer requirements. Our available sizes range from 1” to 10” diameter.
Composite hose assemblies are quality checked and can be hydro tested and certified prior to delivery.| Principal Applications | Material of construct | Classification | Specifications | |
