A competitor’s PVC hose was in use for cutting fluid circulation piping in machine tools at an automotive parts plant. However, oil caused the hose to harden, making it bend or collapse, leading to coolant liquid clogging which prevented cooling and caused production losses. Therefore, the hose had to be replaced every six months, at extremely poor efficiency, so it was desirable to reduce the hose replacement frequency.

Improved oil resistance reduces frequency of hose replacement due to hardening, improving workability
We proposed the HYPER TOYORON Hose with superior oil resistance, which was adopted after monitoring. With long-term flexibility and no hardening, the replacement frequency was reduced and production efficiency improved, pleasing the customer very much.
