Ultraflex TPU –
Type TPU is constructed of a helical wire reinforced
thermoplastic urethane that offers excellent abrasion resistance for material handling
applications. It’s a tough, versatile, lightweight, flexible hose/ducting that can be used in a wide
variety of applications, and is offered in black or clear transparent urethane that allows the user to
monitor the flow of material.
Ultraflex VP –
Type VP is constructed of a vinyl coated polyester fabric material with a spring steel wire helix
reinforcement. This type also includes a vinyl wear strip over the wire helix for additional wear resistance. It is
offered in single ply construction (VP-1) or double ply construction (VP-2).
