Superior Abrasion and Fatigue Resistant
Thermoplastic products are known for having superior
abrasion resistance over their rubber equivalents.
Providing significantly longer wear, they offer as much
as 100 to 30,000 times the abrasion resistance.
Fiber braided thermoplastic hose also maintains better
fatigue resistance than a wire-reinforced hose.
Parflex offers a choice of wire or fiber braid
reinforced hose products. All hoses are specially
designed to withstand abrasion and the abuse of
constant flexing, assuring a longer service life with-
out breaking or weakening. This makes them ideal
for over-the-sheave applications and boom trucks, as
well as an excellent option for abrasive environ-
ments like construction, forestry, mining and refuse.
Bonded Hose
Bonded assemblies help prevent hose-to-hose
abrasion at high stress levels. By bonding 2 to 10
varying-sized hoses (maximum 10” O.D.) together,
bonded assemblies keep hoses from rubbing

against each other or tangling. They are particularly
beneficial for long runs, such as cable tracks. Parflex
hose bonding keeps hoses straight for easier and
more stable routing while improving quality by
maintaining continuous hoses from end to end.
Convenient Harness and Bundle Integration
Similar to bonding, Parflex harnesses and bundles
ensure quick assembly, eliminate waste and im-
prove throughput. Custom engineered to meet
the exact requirements of each manufacturer,
Parflex harnesses reduce labor by supplying a
pre-designed bundle of tubes to fit a customer’s
specific application. With all the connections secured
together, the preformed harness decreases overall
installation time, waste and human error, while
improving part consistency for a neater and cleaner
design. Companies can then re-allocate excess
resources to bottleneck areas – increasing their overall
throughput.
