The thermoplastic rubber used in this product provides good chemical and heat resistance, and is also able to withstand higher temperatures than ordinary rubber products. Thermoplastic rubber refers to a class of copolymers that are made from a mixture of plastic and rubber. This combination results in a material that offers good chemical and UV resistance. This thermoplastic hose is also reinforced with a spring steel wire helix for added protection and stability. This resilient quality is important when using the food grade hose in rough and unforgiving environments. The smooth interior of this hose material allows for minimal friction loss and provides efficient airflow.

Expert's Review
Our Expert’s Opinion
Robert, an experienced team member, has this to say
Pros
FDA Grade: Acceptable for use in foodservice
US Made: You don’t have to trust FDA compliance or testing by non-American entities
TPR: Still the same excellent chemical resistance
High Temperature: 250°F max temperature, so it can be used to move high temperature fumes
Cons
Made to Order: Four to six week lead time
Foodservice: Primarily made for food handling applications as the price probably makes it too expensive for other uses
