This produces a full internal hose wall, resulting in a more flexible and wear-resistant material. Because WEINIG flex hose is manufactured from a clear polyester-based urethane, wear life is increased as much as 30% over industry-standard polyether-based urethane. Although the cost is 2-3 times more expensive than PVC, TPR or Neoprene, the wear life is 5-10 times longer. In late 2014, we were able to modify the material to now include anti-static and flame-resistant properties. |
