Is VE5 polyester braided thermoplastic hose suitable for transporting isocyanates and polyols at temperatures up to +70Â°C?

VE5 polyester braided thermoplastic hose is described as suitable for transporting isocyanates and polyols and is rated for an operating temperature range from -40Â°C to +100Â°C. However the specification adds a specific note: for water and air the maximum recommended temperature is +70Â°C. Therefore: - For isocyanates and polyols the hose construction (polyamide inner layer, polyester braid reinforcement, polyurethane outer layer) and the general operating temperature up to +100Â°C indicate suitability up to +100Â°C, assuming chemical compatibility and operating conditions are met. - The +70Â°C limitation applies specifically to water and air, not to isocyanates and polyols. Before use, confirm chemical compatibility of VE5 with the particular isocyanate/polyol formulations, pressure, and any regulatory or safety requirements; perform supplier confirmation or testing for service at elevated temperatures.

Can VE5 polyester braided thermoplastic hose be used with solvents and paints across the full -40Â°C to +100Â°C range?

VE5 polyester braided thermoplastic hose is designed for solvents and paints, but its stated operating temperature is -40Â°C to +100Â°C with a specific note that for water and air the limit is +70Â°C. For solvents and paints thereâs no separate reduced top temperature listed, so in principle VE5 can be used with solvents and paints across the full -40Â°C to +100Â°C range. However, always verify chemical compatibility of specific solvents/paint formulations with the hose materials (polyamide inner layer, polyester braid, polyurethane outer layer) and confirm application-specific approvals before use.

Is VE5 polyester braided thermoplastic hose available in a micro-perforated version for gas and air use?

Yes. VE5 polyester braided thermoplastic hose is available in a micro-perforated version suitable for gas and air use. The hose features a polyamide inner layer, polyester braid reinforcement, and a polyurethane outer layer. Operating temperature range is â40Â°C to +100Â°C (for water and air up to +70Â°C).
