Composite Hoses: Lightweight, Chemical-Resistant Solutions for Industrial Fluid Transfer
Composite Hoses: The Lightweight Powerhouse for Industrial Fluid Transfer
In demanding industrial environments, the safe and efficient transfer of chemicals, fuels, and oils is critical. Composite hoses have emerged as the preferred solution for fluid transfer in tank truck operations and a range of other industrial applications.
What Makes Utigoflex Composite Hoses Stand Out?
Composite hoses are engineered for superior performance, featuring a multi-layered construction of polypropylene inner wall, PVC coated fabric cover, reinforcement of high-tensile synthetic cord, and corrosion-resistant helix steel wires. This unique design provides:
Exceptional chemical resistance
Remarkable durability
Outstanding flexibility
One of the standout advantages of composite hoses is their lightweight construction. They are up to 40% lighter than traditional rubber hoses, which makes them easier to handle and install without compromising on strength or reliability.
Additionally, composite hoses are equipped with secure, leak-proof end connections (e.g., flanges or quick couplings), ensuring fast and safe deployment in the field.
Where Are Composite Hoses Used?
Composite hoses are versatile and widely used across several critical sectors, including:
Transport and Logistics
Industrial Processing
- Chemical and oil transfer in plants, steel works, and refineries
Specialist Operations
- Handling LPG, cryogenic fluids, and vapour recovery
- High-speed refueling (e.g., Formula 1)
Why Choose Composite Hoses?
For industries requiring lightweight, chemically resistant, and highly durable fluid transfer solutions, composite hoses provide a smart and reliable option. Their unique design is not only cost-effective but also enhances safety and efficiency in a variety of applications.
