CHEMICAL TRANSFER HOSES

RUBBER COVERED POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE (PTFE)

Chemical transfer hoses are typically rubber covered polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE hoses. Chemical hoses (also referred to as chemical transfer hoses) are used to move chemicals from one location to another. These hoses are manufactured from materials that are highly chemical resistant. Rubber covered polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE hoses are used in applications such as transferring acids, solvents, and petroleum products to or from storage containers in industrial plants and are also used for spraying pesticides, fertilizers, and paint. Bulk chemical hoses can be cut to the desired length and compatible chemical resistant hose fittings(Coupling alloy and gasket must be compatible with chemical being transferred) can be added to the ends of the hoses to create custom hose assemblies. Chemical hoses are FDA approved per 21CFR177.1550, US Phamacopeia Class VI, 3-A Sanitary Standard 62-01.

Typical applications for chemical transfer hoses include:

• Pharmaceutical processing
• Sensitive product transfer
• Biopharmaceutical hose applications
• Petroleum transfer
• Spraying pesticides, fertilizers and paint
• Load cells
• Skid transfer
• CIP and SIP applications
• Vessel and tank transfer
• Semiconductor component processing
• Semiconductor wafer carriers and piping systems

Other Applications for Chemical/Rubber Covered PTFE Hoses:

• Steam applications
• Gas applications
• Multi-purpose applications
• Hydrocarbon drain applications
• Anhydrous ammonia applications
• And more
