Specification
Structure

Outside Cover
Thermoplastic outer layer with abrasion-, chemical-, and UV-resistance. Available in conductive (black) or non-conductive (orange) versions.

Reinforcement
Two high-tensile synthetic fiber braids for enhanced burst strength and flexibility.

Inner Tube
Thermoplastic inner tube compatible with petroleum, synthetic, and water-based hydraulic fluids.
Features
High Pressure Performance
Handles high working pressures up to 400 bar, ideal for demanding hydraulic and fluid power applications.
Lightweight & Compact
Smaller OD and lighter weight compared to rubber hoses, reducing system load and improving maneuverability.
Non-Conductive Option
Orange-covered versions offer electrical insulation for use near power lines or sensitive environments.
Chemical & Abrasion Resistant
Thermoplastic cover provides strong resistance to oil, chemicals, abrasion, and weather exposure.
Low Expansion & Precise Control
Minimal volumetric expansion ensures accurate and responsive hydraulic system performance.
