Plastic Hoses for Industrial Applications

The plastic hose is extremely popular in industry due to its versatile application possibilities. Plastic hoses typically consist of three main types of plastics: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Polyurethane (PU), and Thermoplastic Vulcanisates (TPV).

PVC hoses are particularly flexible, durable, and cost-effective. They are resistant to a wide range of solids, gaseous media, and liquids, making them an excellent choice for numerous industrial applications.

PU hoses have similar properties to PVC hoses; however, due to their higher flexibility and load capacity, they are particularly suitable for demanding applications. These hoses also offer excellent abrasion resistance, which makes them ideal for use in harsh environments.

Rubber hoses are extremely versatile, robust, and offer excellent resistance to a wide range of chemical substances, abrasive materials, and extreme temperatures. They are a proven solution for various industries.

Another advantage of plastic hoses is their antistatic nature, which ensures high safety when handling materials. Furthermore, they offer excellent chemical resistance, making them impervious to a wide variety of chemicals.

In summary, plastic hoses can be used in many different industrial applications due to their high flexibility, antistatic properties, and chemical resistance. PVC plastic hoses are a cost-effective solution, while polyurethane plastic hoses can be used in demanding environments due to their higher load capacity.

NovaNox® plastic hoses are mostly made of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polyurethane (PUR), or Thermoplastic Vulcanisates (TPV). The plastic hose can be manufactured according to various international compliances and thus installed in your machines, systems, or vehicles in accordance with applicable directives and regulations. Among other things, it can be manufactured to be RoHS compliant. RoHS stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment. This ensures that no hazardous substances are released during the recycling of the component. Furthermore, NovaNox® plastic hoses can be manufactured according to the REACH directive. REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals, ensuring that chemicals are used safely during manufacturing and that there is no danger at any time. In addition to the mentioned EU standards, the plastic hose can be manufactured according to the common US standards FDA and TSCA. This guarantees food compatibility, and the hazardous substances used are monitored and restricted.

For the production of PVC hoses, high-quality raw materials such as a PVC compound, colourants, and additives are first selected. Subsequently, the granulate is heated and brought into a deformable form before the extrusion process is used to manufacture the hose core. After the hose has been formed by the extrusion process, it is immersed in water to cool down. For a hose with textile reinforcement, the inner core is heated to room temperature and then processed further by a weaving machine before the outer jacket is extruded.

The NovaNox® PVC spiral hose is versatile and flexible for industrial use and is suitable for transporting aggressive media such as chemicals, gases, sludge, faeces, petrol, or aqueous solutions. It is abrasion-resistant, antistatic, and thermally stable, thus meeting ISO 6940 for non-flammable properties. Additionally, it is approved for the food industry and UV-resistant. PVC hoses have application areas in general industry, the chemical industry, and laboratory technology, and can function as seals and protective hoses.

In the production of PU hoses, the first step takes place in the extruder. In the extruder, the PU granulate is heated to approximately 200°C. Here, the granulate melts and can then be compressed. To guarantee high quality in the final product, an adequate drying process follows. This process delivers consistently good results, regardless of climatic conditions. During this process, as much moisture as possible is extracted from the air with low energy consumption.

The transparent NovaNox® PU hoses are made of polyurethane. They are also versatile in industrial applications. They are often used as polyurethane suction hoses, polyurethane delivery hoses, or as hoses for water cooling. Various solids, gaseous media, or liquids can be conveyed through NovaNox® PU hoses. Even highly abrasive media, such as sawdust, powder, cement, or granulate, can be safely transported by these hoses. The smooth inner wall of the hoses guarantees optimised media flow. Furthermore, PU hoses possess abrasion-resistant and antistatic properties, complemented by thermal properties and excellent material resistance. Due to these properties, the hoses can be used at temperatures above 110°C and remain very durable and long-lasting. In addition, they acquire flame-retardant properties. Despite these diverse characteristics, a NovaNox® pneumatic hose, also due to its high elasticity, is excellently suited for installation in confined spaces. Furthermore, their optimal compatibility with foodstuffs should be mentioned, which allows them to be approved for the food industry and to be hydrolysis and microbe resistant. Since both the PUR suction hose and the PU delivery hose are so versatile, they are considered all-rounders in industry. They can be used, for example, in the wood, furniture, and ceramics industries, as well as in sand and gravel quarries. They are also perfectly suited for CO2 ring mains.

The advantages of a polyurethane hose are not to be underestimated. Firstly, PUR hoses are many times more abrasion-resistant than comparable rubber hoses. Additionally, due to the smooth inner walls, little conveyed material deposits in the hose. Their hydrolysis and microbe resistance allows for use with moist media.
