Recyclable, non-coiled universal hose | Lightweight, sturdy, flexible
Our innovative, spiral-free universal hose (smooth hose) is made from a whitish, opaque, Cradle to Cradle-compliant polymer and offers relevant functional properties for a variety of industrial applications: It is lightweight, moderately pressure-resistant, highly resistant to oils and greases, and produces biodegradable abrasion particles in accordance with ISO 14855.
Depending on the specific application, we produce custom-designed, spiral-free universal hoses as smooth hoses. These can be designed to be quite sturdy. Particularly with small nominal diameters, shorter lengths, and the appropriate manufacturing method, a hose section can achieve a level of robustness that, in certain applications, rivals the properties of a plastic pipe. The specific design, the material used, and the respective application are decisive factors here. Masterflex Group Engineering Services will assist you in selecting a precisely tailored product solution.
