SUPERTOP/LL UPE® suction and discharge hose for liquid chemicals
Strong suction and discharge hose with an inner layer made of chemically resistant polyethylene with ultra-high molecular weight (UPE, UHMWPE). The inner layer is resistant to most acids and bases as well as many other aggressive chemicals (at elevated but not very high temperatures), making the hose widely used in the chemical and petrochemical industries. The UPE inner layer also complies with food-grade hose requirements, is free from phthalates and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and features a low friction coefficient during flow, preventing medium deposition on the walls. This significantly facilitates cleaning and allows for use in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food industries as well. Reinforced with synthetic cord and steel spiral, with built-in copper wires for electrostatic discharge. The outer layer is made of chemically resistant EPDM rubber, resistant to abrasion, ozone, and weather conditions. Compliant with EN 12115:11 requirements (type M, resistance between hose ends R ≤ 100 Ω, guaranteed for hoses up to 40 m in length). Standards and requirements: Chemical hoses: EN 12115:2011. Food industry, contact with food (inner layer): 1935/2004/EC, 2023/2006/EC (GMP), 10/2011/EU (simulant fluids A, B, D2), FDA 21 CFR 177.1520, BfR III. Confirmation of resistance and application conditions requires contact with Tubes International, especially for temperatures above 50°C. Inner layer: white creamy UPE polyethylene. Reinforcement: synthetic cord, steel spiral. Outer layer: black EPDM rubber. Working pressure: 16 bar. Operating temperature: from -40°C to +100°C.
