Fiberglass Reinforced Flexible Hoses are named for their inner fiber strands. Also known as ribbed hoses or woven hoses, they are mainly used in industries requiring food and cosmetic standards.
Structure: Core - Polyurethane (PU); Reinforcement Layer - Fiber Weave; Sheath - Polyurethane (PU).
Fiberglass-reinforced hoses are categorized into two types: fiberglass-reinforced polyurethane hoses and fiberglass-reinforced nylon hoses.
Fiber-Reinforced Polyurethane Hose (XPU)
Features: Smooth surface, small bending radius
Performance: High modulus, high elasticity, tear-resistant, solvent-resistant, oil-resistant, and weather-resistant, with a combination of rubber and plastic properties. Its outer diameter, bending radius, and weight are 1/2 to 1/3 of the same-purpose inner diameter rubber tube, making it very convenient for process design and manual installation.
Application: High and low-pressure hoses are mainly used for high-pressure hoses, brake fluid lines on machine tools, automobiles, construction machinery, motorcycles, and pneumatic instrument lines in industrial automatic control such as oil, chemical, and smelting industries, etc.
Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon Hose (XPA)
Structure: Core: Nylon (XPA) Reinforcement Layer: Fiber Woven Sheath: Polyurethane (PU)
Features: Smooth surface, small bend radius
Performance: High modulus, high elasticity, tear-resistant, solvent-resistant, oil-resistant, and weather-resistant, with a combination of rubber and plastic properties. Its outer diameter, bending radius, and weight are 1/2 to 1/3 of those for the same-diameter rubber hose, making it very convenient for process design and manual installation.
Application: High and low-pressure hoses are mainly used for high-pressure hoses, brake fluid lines on machine tools, automobiles, construction machinery, motorcycles, and pneumatic instrument lines in industrial automatic control such as oil, chemical, and smelting industries, etc.
