Oroflex Hydrochem
Oroflex Hydrochem© is a new layflat hose designed for the transfer of hydro-carbons and chemicals.
The use of high grade polyurethane gives excellent abrasion properties and superb resistance against many oils, greases and chemicals. A high tensile circular polyester reinforcement offers a very high tensile strength both axially and longitudinally. The circular jacket construction means that the hose behaves like a conventional hose under pressure but then be very compactly stored after use or on reeling systems. The four equidistant copper braided wires allow for earthing and provide anti-static properties.
