Cleaning alcohol makes the hoses stiff, causing outbreaking crack on the serface and leaks

A customer was cleaning hoses with a high concentration of cleaning alcohol. Because the hoses were made of PVC, the alcohol caused the hoses to become brittle, and they cracked, causing material to leak.

Adopted the TOYOFUSSO Hose with excellent chemical resistance. It was shown to be more durable than a PVC hose and more flexible and easier to handle than a fluorine tube. In order to prevent the coupling from leaking, it was switched from the hose band to the TOYOCONNECTOR, which eliminated maintenance such as additional tightening, reduced work and improved productivity.
