Oroflex Offshore

A very tough yet flexible polyurethane layflat hose designed to meet the requirements of many applications. Designed for the transport of hydrocarbons, MGS, ship to ship unloading, ship to shore fuel supply.

The method of construction does not allow corrosion and scale build up and the process forms a single homogenous construction without using glues and adhesives.

In addition, the very high abrasion resistance and resistance to cuts mean this hose will offer many years trouble free service life. No maintenance is required and with a 20% reduction in friction losses when compared with steel, this hose gives a quick return on investment.

Before using this hose ensure that hose is properly earthed and electrically tested. This hose must not be used where a non-conductive product is required.
