FlexChem is one of the industries most versatile, rubber covered FEP-lined transfer hoses. It is designed for full flow applications that require maximum flexibility, minimum weight high purity. This smooth bore FEP hose with its EPDM rubber cover is easy to handle and resists abrasion and chemical attack while it facilitates easy cleanability. The smooth, rubber cover makes it easy for operators to safely grip and handle the hose.
FlexChem hose incorporates a FEP, smooth bore design which gives it superior flexibility, through a proprietary process, the FEP liner is bonded, covered and reinforced with multi-layered rubber, spiral-wound polyester cords and a double helix wire which gives it superior flexibility, grounding is possible via its internal wires.
This wire helix “back bone” also supports full vacuum service. FlexChem series hose is available in white FEP or a PTFE conductive black liner where electrostatic dissipation is required. To ensure continuous fluid contact with FEP throughout the hose assembly, the FEP liner can be Factory flared through: flanges; sanitary fittings; male and female cams.
