In the past, many people opted for Rubber Air Hose when making a purchase, but nowadays, an increasing number of consumers are choosing PVC Air Hose. Have you ever wondered why this shift has occurred?
The Price Factor
It’s a well-known fact that the price of rubber materials is typically at least twice that of PVC materials. Consequently, the cost of rubber air hoses is considerably higher than their PVC counterparts. To cut down on expenses, some individuals and businesses have decided to use PVC air hoses as a substitute.
The Advantages of PVC Air Hoses
Anti-aging Properties
Our PVC air hoses incorporate a small quantity of LG nitrile rubber. This addition endows them with remarkable anti-aging capabilities, enabling them to endure outdoor conditions for over five years without significant deterioration.
Oil Resistance
The inherent nature of PVC material itself confers excellent oil resistance, making these hoses suitable for applications where contact with oil is likely.
High Pressure Resistance
The working pressure of our PVC air hoses is 300PSI, and the burst pressure reaches an impressive 900psi. These figures far surpass the typical working pressure requirements in the industry. In contrast, traditional rubber hoses often struggle with low pressure tolerance and are prone to bursting when the pressure spikes suddenly.
Seasonal Softness
Thanks to the use of special materials, our PVC air hoses exhibit outstanding weather resistance. They remain pliable during the hot summer months and don’t become brittle in the cold winter, ensuring consistent performance throughout the year.
Light Weight
The lightweight nature of PVC air hoses not only reduces the fatigue experienced by workers during handling but also minimizes wear and tear on the hoses themselves and related equipment.
