There are numerous applications where high-performing hoses are necessary to safely transport fluids or gases from one point to another. Applications include, but are not limited to, performance engines (such as in race cars), aircraft engines (from planes to helicopters and beyond), pharmaceuticals, food processing, and cosmetics.
In these types of industries, there is no room for error. Hoses need to perform well even in extreme conditions or challenging environments. If a hose unexpectedly breaks or snaps off, the results can be disastrous.
To avoid scenarios that put people’s lives in danger or force factories to shut down, choose a high-performance hose for your applications. We recommend that you consider silicone hoses, and here’s why.
Silicone Hoses Are Reliable
The plastic material that these hoses are made from is strong yet flexible. That means that these hoses can be installed into small or tight spaces and will withstand the rigors of the environment they’re placed in. Whether they’re found inside the hot engine of a truck or in the humid environment of a water processing plant, silicone hoses hold up to the rigors they’re put through because they resist temperature extremes, humidity, sunlight, ozone, and much more.
They will not fall apart at the first unexpected jolt to the system, nor will they crumble to pieces after a year or so of wear and tear. Silicone hoses are built to last, holding up in rugged environments and serving as a good choice for your money.
They Can Be Customized
Do you need hoses in non-standard shapes and sizes? With silicone hoses, this is not a problem. You can have parts made to your specifications, giving you maximum design freedom. If you need a piece of hose with a bend at an unusual angle, it can probably be done. If you need to design and build a system that uses hoses in odd configurations and placements, both the flexible nature of silicone hoses and the ability to customize solutions will likely let you get away with it!
They Can Be Designed Into Hybrid Systems
In fine-tuned engines and other systems where performance is crucial, you most likely will need to piece together a variety of materials that need to work together in harmony. You may have to attach plastic hoses to metal parts, and you might have other types of materials included in the design as well.
Silicone hoses are compatible with metals and other types of materials, which means you can safely mix and match an assortment of parts in your hybrid system knowing that they’ll work together well.
Plenty Of Technical Expertise Is Available
If you’re creating something brand new and you’re not sure if you can use silicone hoses for your application, the good news is that there are plenty of experts around who can guide you. At Flex Technologies, we have a full technical team that’s ready to answer your questions and work with you on custom designs. These techies are honest and true to the process; they will not recommend using a part if they know it’s not suitable for your application. You’ll receive expert guidance and accurate information from our team.
You Can Easily Get Replacement Parts
No matter how well you build your system, the day will come when a part needs to be replaced. That’s just the nature of physics. If you could build a machine that lasts forever, you’d be a billionaire several times over!
Alas, parts do wear down and lower system performance eventually, which makes it important to use parts that can be replaced easily. That’s another benefit of going with silicone hoses, because these parts are readily available from vendors and distributors.
