Raw Materials
The most important materials for making material handling hoses are rubber compounds, cord materials and components like steel flanges, rings, etc. The compounds are made to our specification, supplied to size and processed by our own factory. The composition of the rubbers depends on the intended use.
For the inside of our hoses, for example, we use wear layer rubbers with a number of properties. In this way, we obtain a layer which combines an extremely high wear resistance with flexibility at very low temperatures and resistance to abrasion, protracted exposure to sea water of different compositions and storage under tropical conditions. The cord material we use is strictly selected for quality and function. We work with traditional materials, like rayon and polyester, but we also use new types of material, like Aramide.
