These kinds of hoses can be divided into two types. One type is designed for products that do not affect the polypropylene lining and stainless steel inner wire. The other type is designed for heavy chemical and acids. These hoses are excellent suitable for most of the existing chemicals and for temperatures up to 100°C due to the internal stainless steel wire and PTFE (Teflon) or ECTFE (Hostaflon) lining.
