- QIs there a hose that can be used for fuel oil?
- A
We do not provide hoses that can be used with fuel oil such as gasoline, light oil and heavy oil.
- QCan the TOYOSILICONE Hose handle conveying steam?
- A
No, the TOYOSILICONE is not designed for steam.
The TOYOSILICONE Hose can handle up to 130℃ and 0.2 MPa of pressure, but this should be limited to short periods of time for sterilization purposes, and continuous use should be avoided.
In addition, temperature and other conditions vary depending on product, so be sure to check the precautionary material for details.
- QCan silicone oil be run through the TOYOSILICONE Hose?
- A
This will not result in damage to the hose, though it may stick to the outside surface. We cannot, however, guarantee the TOYOSILICONE Hose for uses above 70℃.
- QCan sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) be run through the TOYOSILICONE Hose?
- A
Solutions of sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) should generally not be run through the TOYOSILICONE Hose as it can cause degradation of the hose. For CIP (cleaning in place), however, a dilution of 2 to 3% may be used without problems. The TOYOSILICONE has even been used by a CIP equipment manufacturer. Even so, this will result in quicker degradation than using water or air.
- QCan gasoline be run through the TOYOFUSSO Hose?
- A
Do not use fuel oil in the TOYOFUSSO Hose Series.
We do not produce hoses that can be used with fuel oil.
- QCan natural gas, liquefied petroleum (propane) gas and other flammable gases be run through Toyox soft PVC hoses?
- A
Toyox hoses should not be used for flammable gases. Doing so may result in fires and extensive burning.
- QCan sodium hypochlorite be used in the TOYORON Hose?
- A
At room temperature, a concentration of up to 5% can be used. Even so, this will lead to premature aging as compared to water use. We therefore recommend using the ECORON or TOYOFUSSO instead.
- QCan sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) be run through the TOYORON Hose?
- A
We do not recommend doing so because that will lead to early degradation of the hose. After about a year of feeding sodium hydroxide, the hose will turn yellow and harden. After that, the hose will degrade further and become stiffer, and the inside of the hose will become brown. We therefore recommend using the ECORON or TOYOFUSSO Hose for more durability.
- QCan highly concentrated ozone water be run through the TOYORON Hose?
- A
Yes, that is fine.
