Specialty Hose Capability – Parflex offers many unique specialty hoses such as electrically non-conductive, breathing
air, and CNG hoses to name just a few. Let us custom design and build a solution for you.
Superior Abrasion Resistance – Urethane and nylon style covers provide the industry's highest level of abrasion
resistance today. They can outlast standard rubber hoses in lab tests by up to 10:1.
Long Continuous Lengths – Long length hoses reduce the number of short unusable hose lengths. In addition, longer
lengths mean reduced leak points and cost savings.
Clean Core Tubes – Unlike rubber core tubes, thermoplastic core tubes are clean when cut and greatly reduce the
chance of contamination in today’s state-of-the-art hydraulic systems.
Wide Chemical Range – Thermoplastic hoses offer a superior range of chemical resistance. Tough outer covers also
resist degradation by UV rays, water and harsh wash down chemicals.
Lightweight by Design – Lightweight designed equipment is routinely being requested by leading manufacturers today.
Thermoplastic hoses are considerably lighter than rubber hoses (e.g. 100R8 hose can weigh up to 40% less than a
comparable rubber hose).
Smaller OD – Compact designs allow tighter bend radius characteristics and work well in small enveloped areas.
Easy Routing – Smooth outer covers offer ease in routing multiple hoses in tight or confined areas such as booms, lifts,
and tracks.
Lower Volumetric Expansion – This means less energy loss and faster reaction time in hydraulic circuits.
UV Resistant – Parflex thermoplastic hose jackets are UV stabilized for optimal weather resistance.
Long Shelf Life – Thermoplastic hoses do not continuously cure, and won’t degrade when stored under proper conditions.
Easy To Cut – Fabric reinforced hoses do not require high power saws to be cut. Simple hand or blade cutters can be
used.
Crimpable, Swageable, Field Attachable – Some Parflex thermoplastic hoses can be assembled utilizing any of these
three methods of fitting attachment for added convenience.
Bonded Components – Some Parflex thermoplastic hoses can be bonded together from 2 to 10 hoses, in multiple sizes
and products. Similar cover materials must always be used in the bonding process.
Coiled/Retractable Capability – Many Parflex thermoplastic hoses can be coiled for retractable capability for easy,
compact storage.
Bundling – Parflex offers the ability to bundle hose and tubing in a variety of combinations.
Custom Printed Lines – Custom printed lines build brand identity and differentiate products for end users. Simple ink
jetting provides a cost effective way to provide crisp clean text, or in some cases, logos.
Colors – Parflex thermoplastic hoses can be manufactured in almost any conceivable color. Colors can offer brand identity,
color coding and traceability.
Hybrid Hoses
Patented Manufacturing Process – Robust design and materials minimize in-service problems and maximize service life.
Elastomeric Tube – Provides a clean tube excellent for fluid/chemical compatibility and minimizes the need for expensive
cleaning of hose assemblies.
Wire Braided Reinforcement – Wire braids increase pressure ratings, create tight bend radii – excellent cut through
resistance.
Synthetic Rubber Cover – Hybrid hoses have a smooth cover that looks like traditional hydraulic hose. Additionally, these
hoses compliment the look of OEM equipment.
Smaller OD – Compact designs allow tighter bend radius characteristics and work well in small enveloped areas.
Long Lengths – Long length hybrid hoses reduce the number of short unusable hose lengths. In addition, longer lengths
mean reduced leak points and cost savings.
2-Braid Construction – The 2-braid hybrid hose construction takes the place of traditional 4-spiral wire hose and offers a
slimmer profile, lighter weight, and longer lengths.
Widely Accepted – Proven performance over many years.
