Hoses

Description:

• SUPERTUFF is a special cover for hydraulic hose, which dramatically increases resistance to environmental and severe application damages.
• A standard hose in the Australian Mines, this hose is also the best solution available for pressure washer users who dont get the life they need from a standard hose.
• Heavy duty performace, combined with a non marking and lightweight cover, make the extra cost a valid option. Join with your normal hose for use in high wear points

Applications:

• Mining and earth-moving machines (SUPERTUFF is abrasion resistant)
• Machineries for forestry (SUPERTUFF is resistant to impact-caused damage)
• Offshore applications (SUPERTUFF is ozone and UV resistant)
• Underwater applications (SUPERTUFF is water resistant and non- absorbing)
• Machineries for chemical plants (SUPERTUFF is resistant to most of the chemical agents)

Why pay more? Standard cover vs Supertuff
Abrasion resistance

• Tests according to EN-ISO 6945 norms (weight 50+/-5N) state that the maximum allowed loss of weight is 0.5g:
• Standard cover: 0.15g after 2000 cycles
• SUPERTUFF cover: 0.0g after 1.000.000 cycles

Oil swell:

• In IRM 903 oil according to SAE norm (70h at 100°C), max 100%:
• Standard cover: 73%
• SUPERTUFF cover: 18.2%

• In IRM 903 oil according to DIN norm (168h at 100°C), max 100%:
• Standard cover: 60%
• SUPERTUFF cover: 9%

Ozone resistance

• According to EN 27326 norm (50, 40°C), min 72h without cracks:
• Standard cover: 96h (maximum limit reached without cracks)
• SUPERTUFF cover: >800h (with no cracks)

Flame resistance

• SUPERTUFF cover is MSHA (US MSHA 152/7) approved for flame resistance.

UV rays and chemicals

• SUPERTUFF cover is resistant to UV, animal fats, acids, and any other environmental stress
