Chemical hoses
Used for acids, chemicals, solutions and etc.. The material of inner rubber is mostly EPDM. Usually, such materials require custom-made materials and design proposals.
Ventilation hoses
Used for hot gas, dust, smoke, chemical gas emissions. Inner rubber is mainly made of thermoplastic materials and PVC . Usually the pipe body is provided with a telescopic design.
Food & Beverage hoses
Used for non fat milk, carbonated, orange Juice, beer, animal and vegetable oils, drinking water and so on. The mainly used materials for inner rubber are synthetic rubber and NR. Usually need a food grade FDA, grade DVGWA, KTW or CE certification standards.
