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.
