Eaton's Everflex Teflon PTFE Hose and Fittings Withstand High Temperatures, Abrasive Chemicals
19/10/2016 Eaton Hydraulics Group Europe
Power management company Eaton is introducing its new Everflex Teflon PTFE hoses and Fittings in EMEA markets for applications where high and low temperature, chemical resistance, low coefficient of friction, flexibility, and non-aging characteristics are required.Everflex is the premier brand of hose products made from Teflon resin for use in mobile applications for truck & bus, agriculture and construction machinery in the engine technology, compressor discharge, grease lubrication, hydraulic system, refrigerant. Stationary applications can be chemical and pharmaceutical production machinery, hot melt, paper and pulp manufacturing, hot presses, steam, packaging, paint production, machinery and any other demanding applications.
"Eaton's Teflon hoses out-perform rubber and thermoplastic hoses in the most demanding applications," said Johannes Kammerlohr, product manager, Fluid Conveyance, Hydraulics - EMEA. "This higher performance level provides assemblies that need replaced less often (decreasing machine downtime), can be used in a wider variety of applications, and protect operators, equipment and the environment."
S-TW Series Smooth bore and 8000/8500 Series Convoluted hose types are new hoses within the Everflex range available now for the EMEA market. The smooth bore hose S-TW (non-conductive) and SC-TW (conductive) are qualified for extremely high temperature range and high working pressure available with crimp and reusable fittings. Eaton uses only 100 % virgin Teflon PTFE T-62 resin to make the tubes for the hose products. Reinforcement is available in 304 and 316 SS. The 8000 (non-conductive) and 8500 (conductive) convoluted hose types offering an even smaller bend radius for tight application, designed with a new Conv-O-Crimp fitting and a special designed nipple profile with Teflon sleeve, providing outstanding heat and pressure resistance.
Benefits of the Everflex hose and fittings include:
-€¢ Temperature range smooth bore hose -73 °C (-100 °F) to +260 °C (+500 °F) and for convoluted hose -54 °C (-65 °F) to + 204 °C (+ 400 °F).
-€¢ The hoses can withstand continuous flexing, vibration, or impulsing and is less subject to cyclic fatigue than rubber or metal hoses.
-€¢ Chemical resistance: The hose is inert to most commercial chemicals, acids, alcohols, coolants, elastomers, petroleum compounds, solvents, vinyls, synthetic lubricants and hydraulic fluids.
-€¢ Low friction and easy cleaning: Higher fluid flow velocity, especially when compared to metal hose.
-€¢ High aging resistance: The hose has an almost unlimited application service life.
-€¢ Unlimited shelf life: The hose will not become brittle or flake.
