Is CODAN injection molding hose suitable for continuous use with hot water above +95Â°C without reducing hose lifespan?

No . CODAN injection molding hose is not suitable for continuous use with hot water above +95Â°C without reducing hose lifespan. The hose is rated for continuous operation up to +95Â°C at 20 bar; using it above +95Â°C will shorten its service life. Shorter-term higher-temperature operation is possible only with reduced pressure ratings (up to +140Â°C at 10 bar, temporarily up to +160Â°C), but prolonged exposure above +95Â°C is explicitly noted to reduce lifespan. Additionally, the hose is not oil-resistant and not recommended for air with oil mist; install with clamps or ferrules as specified.

Can CODAN injection molding hose be used for compressed air containing oil mist without performance loss?

No - CODAN injection molding hose should not be used for compressed air containing oil mist if you require guaranteed performance. The hose is specified as not oil-resistant and explicitly not recommended for air with oil mist. While it can be used for air and meets demanding requirements for flexibility, abrasion, weather and ozone resistance (black EPDM inner layer, synthetic braid reinforcement, black/blue/red EPDM outer), exposure to oil mist will degrade the EPDM material and impair service life and safety. Also note temperature limits: up to +95Â°C at 20 bar (reduced lifespan above +95Â°C). Install with clamps or ferrules as recommended.

Can CODAN injection molding hose be safely used for cooling molds with intermittent steam exposure?

No. CODAN injection molding hose should not be considered safe for regular cooling of molds with intermittent steam exposure. Why: CODAN injection molding hose is designed for cold and hot water (and air) in heavy-duty conditions, with inner and outer layers of EPDM rubber and synthetic braid reinforcement. Its rated continuous service temperatures are up to +95Â°C at 20 bar (up to +140Â°C at reduced pressure, and only temporarily to +160Â°C). Steam typically involves saturated steam temperatures â¥100Â°C and carries higher thermal stress, condensate, and chemical/oxidative effects that accelerate EPDM degradation and reduce service life. The product notes explicitly warn that operation above +95Â°C shortens hose lifespan. Repeated or intermittent steam exposure (even if below temporary peaks) will subject the hose to temperature cycles, steam condensate and possible pressure/pressureâspike effects that can compromise EPDM, reinforcement adhesion and sealing, and increase risk of failure. Additional concerns: - Not oilâresistant and not recommended for air with oil mist. steam lines in industrial settings may carry contaminants that further attack the material. - Steam can cause embrittlement, swelling or loss of mechanical properties in EPDM over time. - Clamping/ferrule installation is recommended; steam fittings must be properly rated to avoid leaks under high temperature/pressure. If intermittent steam cannot be avoided, choose a hose specifically rated for steam service (suitable materials like steamârated rubber compounds, PTFE, or reinforced stainless assemblies) and follow pressure/temperature ratings, installation practice and inspection intervals. Conclusion: Do not use CODAN injection molding hose for cooling molds with intermittent steam exposure; instead select a hose explicitly specified for steam.
