| Here's what 50 years of experience can do for you... |
Whatever your application problem - flow, viscosity pressure, ID or OD, chemical stability - you can depend on Armstrong for the hose or tubing to meet your specs. With 50 years of hose manufacturing experience in back of us, we can offer you proven performance engineering support. In collaboration with such prime raw material sources as DuPont, Goodrich Chemical, U.S. Industrial Chemical and others, we have successfully developed thermoplastic hose for a range of new high-technology applications. These state-of-the-art materials open up new OEM and replacement opportunities with the advantage of savings in life function capabilities, weight, and dollar economies.
If you have a hose or tube requirement, our technical service personnel can give you the answers promptly. Specifications, pricing data, sample lengths - everything you need to get the job done right!
Rubber & Thermoplastic Hose Materials
There is an AIHP hose for every industrial and commercial application, and our constructions cover the full range of rubber and thermoplastic materials. Armstrong hose and tubings are made to accommodate the flow of:- air
- water
- steam
- pharmaceuticals
- most chemicals
- acids
- alcohols
- oils
- greases
- gasoline
- alkalines
- solvents
- other corrosive and non-toxic liquids
Chemical Resistance of Thermoplastic Hose
The tubes and covers of our thermoplastic hose are resistant to a wide number of chemicals, solvents and gases. The degree of their resistance is dependent upon, and will vary with, the concentration and temperature range of
the chemical or solvent in contact with the hose. Thermoplastic and Rubber Polymer-Elastomers are available today to accommodate most chemicals and solvents in liquid or gaseous form. The life-expectancy of a hose tube or jacket, however, is directly related to the chemical effect of the conducted solvents, and also to the working conditions under which the hose is expected to operate, including atmospheric consideration and possible abrasion attack on tube and cover.
Almost all suppliers of thermoplastic and rubber hose make available charts and tables showing the chemical resistance of their materials. Many pages would be required to list all the liquids, gases and materials which thermoplastic polymers can accommodate. In lieu of such a list, (which would soon be made obsolete due to material improvements), we offer the following as a general guide to the chemical resistance of Armstrong hose:
Resistant to most chemicals wet or dry - including strong and oxidizing chemicals, organic acids, solvents, thinners, esters, ketones, aldehydes, alcohols, aromatic and many other hydrocarbons, freon and other gases, animal and vegetable fats and oils, grease, hydraulic fluids, alkaline solutions . . . plus resistance to ozone and other atmospheric conditions.
