• Safety Factor 4:1 — Ensures robust pressure tolerance and long-term reliability under continuous operation.
• Lightweight & Flexible Design — Easier to handle and install compared to traditional rubber hoses.
• Distinctive Green Outer Cover — Provides quick visual identification for chemical service applications.

Applications

• Chemical and Petrochemical Plants
• Ship-to-Shore and Tanker Chemical Transfer
• Acid and Solvent Loading Systems
• Industrial Chemical Storage Facilities
• Pharmaceutical and Food Chemical Handling
• Tank Truck and Railcar Transfer Systems

Installation & Maintenance Guidelines

1. Inspect Before Use: Check for damage, corrosion, or deformation before installation or transfer operations.
2. Ensure Proper Grounding: Use anti-static grounding connections to prevent static buildup during chemical transfer.
3. Use Compatible Fittings: Always connect with stainless-steel or approved couplings for secure sealing.
4. Avoid Over-Bending: Maintain recommended bend radius to protect the hose structure.
5. Flush After Use: Rinse with compatible neutralizing agents after transferring corrosive chemicals.
6. Store Correctly: Coil and store in a dry, shaded area to avoid unnecessary stress and UV exposure.
