MATERIAL HANDLING SAE 100R18 THERMOPLASTIC HOSE

Inner Liner

Smooth, seamless thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPE)

Reinforcement

Bonded high tenacity polyester fiber

Outer Cover

Black, perforated, special polyester, UV light stabilised and resistant to extreme temperatures for outdoor applications.

Temperature Range

• -54ºC up to +100ºC
• Max. +70ºC with air, water, water based fluids and fire resistant fluids

Safety Factor

4:1

Vacuum Rating

-0.9 Bar (26.5 in.Hg)

Application

High pressure hydraulics, especially for operating over pulleys in heavy duty applications like cranes, boom lifts and fork-lifts, especially in low temperatures

Features

Compact and tough construction, with low elongation. Extremely resistant to kinking and cover tearing, ideal for movement over fork-lift pulleys. In order to guarantee maximum performance and quality, during R&D a special custom tool was developed to simulate the actual fork-lift movements over pulleys whilst hose under impulse test. This special tool was also used to test the hose whilst in a climatic chamber to simulate thermal stresses and weathering cycles. Also available as twin-line & tri-line, refer to TPR18X2 / TPR18X3
