Customer Value Proposition:
Parker Hannifin’s Fast-Stor® Dura-Flex™ is a new twin-lined non conductive hydraulic hose that offers extreme flexibility due to a coiled design, even in cold temperatures. The coiled design is self retracting, which aids in ease of handling and storage.
Unlike competitive rubber hoses that are susceptible to ozone degradation, cracking, abrasion, and moisture ingression;
Dura Flex™ has a UV and ozone-resistant jacket that prevents such problems. This thermoplastic hose is 28% lighter than competing rubber hose assemblies. Dura-Flex™ exceeds SAE J517 for less than 50 micro-amps leakage at 75,000 volts per foot.
Dura- Flex™ hose maintains electrical nonconductivity, keeping the operator safe from electric shock. Some competitive rubber hoses do not meet SAE standards, yet claim to meet their own specification of 100 micro-amps leakage or less.
These products cannot maintain compliance to industry standards for electrical non conductivity after exposure to field use. |
