What are the main differences between a PVC and a PU hose?
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and PU (polyurethane) are two different types of synthetic polymers often used to make hoses. Here are some important differences between PVC and PU hoses:
Composition: PVC hoses are made of polyvinyl chloride, while PU hoses are made of polyurethane.
Durability: PU hoses are generally more durable and abrasion resistant than PVC hoses.
Chemical Resistance: PVC hoses are generally more resistant to chemicals than PU hoses
Temperature Resistance: Both PVC and PU hoses are resistant to high temperatures, but PU hoses can withstand higher temperatures for longer periods of time.
Cost: PVC hoses are generally less expensive than PU hoses.
Durability: PU hoses are generally more durable and abrasion resistant than PVC hoses.
Chemical Resistance: PVC hoses are generally more resistant to chemicals than PU hoses
Temperature Resistance: Both PVC and PU hoses are resistant to high temperatures, but PU hoses can withstand higher temperatures for longer periods of time.
Cost: PVC hoses are generally less expensive than PU hoses.
What wall thickness do I need?
This depends specifically on your application. In general, the higher the wall thickness, the smoother and more rigid it will be. Abrasive materials usually require a higher wall thickness.
How do I properly care for and maintain my suction hoses?
To prolong the life of your suction hoses, they should be checked regularly for damage such as cracks, holes or wear. If necessary, they should be replaced with new hoses.
What factors should be considered when selecting a suction hose?
There are several factors that should be considered when selecting a suction hose. These include the type of material to be extracted, the required suction power, the operating temperature, the chemical resistance and the flexibility of the hose. In addition, the size and length of the hose should also be considered.
What types of materials can be vacuumed?
Suction hoses are very versatile and can be used to extract a wide range of materials. These include dust, chips, gases, liquids and solids. The specific materials that can be extracted depend on the specific hose model and its characteristics.
