Description
Mandals TPU hoses are among the most innovative world class hoses, made from extruded thermoplastic polyether based polyurethane (TPU) with excellent wear and tear properties. The TPU is extruded through the reinforcement made from circular woven high tenacity filament polyester yarn. This method gives a very strong bonding between cover and lining as well as firmly encapsulating the woven polyester. The abrasion resistance of the Mandals TPU hoses is among the highest available, and our TPU hoses also have excellent resistance against the most commonly used chemicals, UV radiation, hydrolysis and fungus degradation.
The textile reinforcement ensures very high tensile strength combined with maximum 2% extension in length at recommended working pressures. This prevents “snaking” of the hose when pressurized. Similarly, the interlocking weave gives exceptionally high pressure ratings. Mandals TPU hoses can operate in a temperature range from -50°C to +75°C (-58°F to +167°F), intermittent use up to +80°C (176°F).
Standard lengths are available up to 200 meters, longer lengths possible on request for many diameters.
- Specifically engineered TPI (twist per inch) factor
- Greater strength due to high TPI
- “Built-In” diameter memory
- Jacket Weaving
- Superior weave prevents elongation & snaking
- Strong coverage keeps weave & TPU intact
- Extrusion
- Strong Bonding between cover and lining
- Fixation & Control
- Accurate &Precise diameter achieved by Steam Pressurization.
- Vulcanization Process improves Durability & other Mechanical properties
All Mandals hoses are subjected to very stringent quality and test procedures that make the hoses durable even in harsh conditions.
- Burst Pressure test
- Jacket-Cover Adhesion
- Heat Resistance
- Abrasion Resistance
- Diameter Testing
- Yarn Strength
Flexible lay-flat hoses offer many advantages over more rigid types of hoses or pipes. The areas of use have increased over the years. Lay-flat hoses are now the preferred transfer solution in many fluid transfer applications in various segments. The experienced users are focused on the fact, that given the right quality of the lay-flat hose; the hoses can meet the requirements of the most demanding industrial users. Lay-flat hoses provide the flexibility and mobility to streamline efficient use and offer many positive HSE benefits.
