Short description

The SMOOTHBORE hose is engineered from a seamless, smooth PTFE tube, extruded under rigorously controlled conditions to guarantee exceptional quality, outstanding flexibility, and minimal porosity. Reinforced with a single braid of annealed AISI 316 stainless steel wire, precisely tensioned and angled, it ensures maximum durability and minimal elongation even under extreme pressure. Thanks to the unique properties of PTFE—its broad temperature resistance from -70°C to +260°C, chemical inertness, and negligible surface adhesion—the hose is an ideal solution for safely transferring aggressive chemicals, fuels, oils, solvents, adhesives, paints, detergents, steam, and food products, as well as for demanding high-pressure hydraulic systems. With a working pressure range of 80 to 240 bar depending on diameter, and a safety factor of 3:1 (or 4:1 in compliance with EN 16643), it delivers reliability even in the most challenging environments. For applications above +130°C, the working pressure is adjusted to maintain optimal performance, ensuring long-term safety and efficiency. This makes the SMOOTHBORE hose a versatile, high-performance choice for industries requiring uncompromising quality, resistance, and operational security.
