What is a braid reinforced PU hose?
Flextech's braid reinforced polyurethane hoses are manufactured from a flexible PU-ether and reinforced with high tensile polyester fibres. Braided PU hoses combine the flexibility and elasticity of Polyurethane with the durability and kink resistance of bulkier braided hoses to provide a well balanced reinforced hose. A smooth PU liner provides friction free passage of gases, compressed air or liquids and resists chemical reactions like hydrolysis. As PU is light yet strong, our braided PU hoses are ideal for use with pneumatic air tools, compressors and reels, both inside and outside.
The braided PU hoses are reinforced with a high strength polyester braid and a layer of flexible PU, so good working pressures of 20 bar and bursting pressures of 60 bar are available with a bend radius as little as 40mm. This means our PU braided hoses can withstand long and frequent impulse cycles without distorting under pressure, and with a range of end connectors and clamps professionally fitted in our facilities.
