- QWhy can’t I use hot water over 100 ℃ for TOYOSILICONE Hose?
- A
Due to the characteristics of the TOYOSILICONE Hose, it is a material with higher gas permeability (porous) than vinyl hoses. If high-temperature water exceeding 100 degrees is used, the steam of the high temperature water will permeate the inner pipe of the hose, which may easily damage the reinforcement thread and reduce the hose pressure resistance performance. The hose that can flow hot water up to 140 ° C is the TOYOSILICONE Steam Hose.
- QWhat is the difference between TOYORON Hose, SUPER TOYORON Hose, and HYPER TOYORON Hose?
- A
The difference between TOYORON Hose and SUPER TOYORON Hose is the difference in oil resistance of the hose outer skin, and SUPER TOYORON Hose is more oil resistant. HYPER TOYORON Hose is a hose that is more oil resistant to the inner tube and outer skin than TOYORON Hose and SUPER TOYORON Hose.
- QThe PVC hose currently used is not heat resistant and the hose often needs to be replaced. Are there hoses that last for a long time when using hot water of about 80℃?
- A
If a normal PVC resin hose is used with food, hot water and cleaning agents at 60℃ or higher, the hose will harden, which may lead to problems such as leakage and disconnection of the hose coupling.
Depending on the pressure of food, hot water, etc., we offer hoses according to applications and usage conditions such as those that can be used up to 70℃ and 150℃.
Select a hose that meets the operating conditions.
- QAlthough a hose is is in use, it may bend or collapse in the middle, causing it stop or causing a change in flow rate. There are cases where work stoppages or loss occurs. Is there a hose that can improve this?
- A
There are various types of hoses.
Hoses used in factories are roughly divided into hoses reinforced with thread and those reinforced with metal or resin coils.
If the currently used hose is reinforced with thread, the hose may bend or collapse.
It is possible to minimize bending and collapsing by using a hose reinforced with a metal or resin coil.
These reinforced hoses are resistant to bending and collapsing and can be used for vacuum applications.
In addition, there are hoses with a new structure that’s not reinforced with a metal or resin coil and is resistant against bending and collapsing.
- QDo the hoses have specific service life? I want to manage the hose replacement schedule.
- A
No service life is set for our hoses. Since many usage conditions such as fluid type, operating temperature, operating pressure, hose size and length are involved and the hoses are used in a wide variety of environments, it is not possible to set a specific service life.
Make arrangements based on the actual piping conditions at your company.
- QIt says that the TOYOSILICONE Hose is heat resistance. Is it fire resistance (flame retardant) as well?
- A
No. It is neither fire resistance nor flame retardant.
