Is the Light and flexible chemical hose, PLUTONE PK, resistant to concentrated acids like hydrochloric and sulfuric acid at room temperature?

Light and flexible chemical hose, PLUTONE PK Format: According to the product description, PLUTONE PK is made from thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) with chemical resistance similar to EPDM rubber. It explicitly states suitability for many substances, including acids such as hydrochloric and sulfuric acid. Therefore, at room temperature (â23Â°C), PLUTONE PK is intended to be resistant to concentrated hydrochloric and sulfuric acids under typical transfer conditions. However, the description also cautions that final confirmation of chemical compatibility and specific application conditions requires contact with Tubes International. For safe use, verify concentration, temperature, pressure, exposure time and mechanical stresses with the manufacturer before handling concentrated acids.

Can Light and flexible chemical hose, PLUTONE PK, be used with aromatic solvents or fuel applications?

Light and flexible chemical hose, PLUTONE PK Format is not recommended for fuels, oils or aromatic solvents. Although its TPV construction gives good chemical resistance (acids, bases, salts, alcohols, glycols, ketones, concentrated detergents) and excellent weather/ozone resistance, the manufacturer specifically advises against use with fuels, oils and aromatic solvents. For confirmation of resistance for a particular substance or application conditions, contact Tubes International.

Can Light and flexible chemical hose, PLUTONE PK, be safely used for steam or hot-water transfer near its upper temperature limit?

Light and flexible chemical hose, PLUTONE PK Format should not be used for steam or hotâwater transfer near its upper temperature limit. Its listed operating temperature tops at +80Â°C, and working pressure is temperatureâdependent (WP specified at +23Â°C; confirmed WP decreases as temperature rises). Steam transfer typically involves higher temperatures and pressures than the hose is rated for and can cause rapid loss of mechanical strength, seal failure, material degradation or catastrophic rupture. Additionally, TPV and the hose construction (polyester braid, steel spiral) are not specified or certified for saturated steam service. If you must transfer hot liquids close to +80Â°C, consult Tubes International for confirmation of resistance and allowable working pressure at the intended temperature and pressure. For steam service, select a hose specifically rated and certified for steam (higher temperature and pressure specs, compatible materials, and appropriate safety factors).
