The initial selection of a hose for chemicals can be based on its intended use given in the catalogue description, the material of the inner layer and its chemical resistance given in Tubes International's chemical resistance chart: Substance EPDM EPM NR NBR CR SBR FPM UPE PTFE PVC PU PA Sulphuric acid 10% [...]
The materials used for the inner layer of chemical hoses must resist chemical corrosion, these are EPDM, EPM, FKM, polyamide, UPE polyethylene, fluoropolymers (PTFE, PFA, MFA, FEP).
DESIGNATIONS OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES ACCORDING TO GHS explosive flammable oxidizing toxic health hazard gas under pressure corrosive environmental hazard toxic, irritant hazardous substances according to the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU other substances according to the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU
Common applications of chemical hoses: • unloading and loading chemicals into transport tanks (e.g., IBC containers, tanker trucks and rail tank cars); • processing in the chemical industry, food industry, pharmaceutical industry, cosmetics, biotechnology, etc.; • packaging filling and emptying; • in laboratories.
