Thermoplastic Hoses
Specialty Hose Capability - Parflex offers many unique specialty hoses such as electrically non-conductive,
breathing air, and CNG hoses to name just a few. Let us custom design and build
a solution for you.
Superior Abrasion Resistance - Urethane and nylon style covers provide the industry's highest level of abra-
sion resistance today. They can outlast standard rubber hoses in lab tests by
up to 10:1.
Long Continuous Lengths - Long length hoses reduce the number of short unusable hose lengths and thereby
save money in the long run.
Clean Core Tubes - Unlike rubber core tubes, thermoplastic core tubes are clean when cut and greatly
reduce the chance of contamination in today’s state-of-the-art hydraulic systems.
Wide Chemical Range - Thermoplastic hoses offer a superior range of chemical resistance. Tough outer cov-
ers also resist degradation by UV rays, water and harsh wash down chemicals.
Lightweight by Design - Lightweight designed equipment is routinely being requested by leading manufac-
turers today. Thermoplastic hoses are considerably lighter than rubber hoses (e.g.
100R8 hose can weigh up to 40% less than a comparable 100R2 hose).
Smaller OD - Compact designs allow tighter bend radius characteristics and work well in small enveloped
areas.
Easy Routing - Smooth outer covers offer ease in routing multiple hoses in tight or confined areas such as
booms, lifts, and tracks.
Lower Volumetric Expansion - This means less energy loss and faster reaction time in hydraulic circuits.
UV Resistant - Parflex thermoplastic hose jackets are UV stabilized for optimal weather resistance.
Long Shelf Life - Thermoplastic hoses do not continuously cure, and won’t degrade when stored under proper
conditions.
Easy To Cut - Fabric reinforced hoses do not require high power saws to be cut. Simple hand or blade
cutters can be used.
Crimpable, Swageable, Field Attachable - Some Parflex thermoplastic hoses can be assembled utilizing
any of these three methods of fitting attachment for added conve-
nience.
Bonded Components - Some Parflex thermoplastic hoses can be bonded together from 2 to 10 hoses, in
multiple sizes and products. Similar cover materials must always be used in the
bonding process.
Coiled/Retractable Capability - Many Parflex thermoplastic hoses can be coiled for retractable capability for
easy, compact storage.
Bundling - Parflex offers the ability to bundle hose and tubing in a variety of combinations.
Custom Printed Lines - Custom printed lines build brand identity and differentiate products for end users.
Simple ink jetting provides a cost effective way to provide crisp clean text, or in some
cases, logos.
Colors - Parflex thermoplastic hoses can be manufactured in almost any conceivable color. Colors can offer
brand identity, color coding and traceability.
