What Is a Polyurethane Hose?
A polyurethane hose is a type of hose made from a flexible synthetic resin called polyurethane.
It is used in various applications, such as tools that use compressed air to create holes, as well as in painting and coating operations where its abrasion resistance is valuable. Due to its chemical resistance, it is also employed in medical settings for applications like injection pumps and suction devices.
However, there are some drawbacks to polyurethane hoses. They are more susceptible to friction and wear compared to other materials, and they may be less resistant to UV rays and high temperatures. Therefore, caution is needed when using them outdoors for extended periods. Additionally, they tend to be more expensive than hoses made from other materials.
