Polyurethane Dust Collection Hose Replaces EPDM, Thermoplastics and Rubber Hoses
Melissa Larson | September 2, 2014
A new high-temperature polyurethane hose that is both puncture- and tear- resistant and can operate up to 260°F for dust collection from heat generating processes is being introduced by Flexaust. Flex-Tube PU-XT is a coextruded thermoplastic polyurethane hose with a rigid ABS external helix that operates from -40°F to 260°F for dust collection over a wide temperature range. Combining high heat and puncture resistance, this flexible polyurethane hose provides 742 PLI tear strength and is more durable than heavier EPDM, thermoplastics, and rubber hoses.
Featuring a smooth interior surface to promote efficient hot air flow, Flex-Tube PU-XT is crush-resistant and offered in 2 to 12 in. dia. sizes in standard 12- and 25 ft. lengths. OEM colors and custom lengths are also offered. Typical applications include cutting and surface preparation processes that generate heat or involve hot tanks. Flexaust Flex-Tube PU-XT is priced according to size and quantity.
