A Range of Silicone Coated Ducting Flexaust Hoses
Specialty Thin Layer Silicon and Insulated Ducting Hoses
In the world of industrial ducting, the need for durable, flexible, and high-temperature resistant hoses is paramount. Flexaust, a leading manufacturer of flexible hose and ducting, offers a range of silicone coated hoses designed to meet these needs. Here, we explore the features and applications of their prominent ducting hoses: BDS, CWGS, Flex-Vest, GS, and NS.
BDS Ducting Hose
The BDS Ducting Hose is a single-ply iron oxide red silicone coated fiberglass fabric hose, reinforced with a spring steel wire helix and external filament fiberglass cord. It’s suited for high-temperature air handling applications, offering a smooth air flow with a tight bending radius. The BDS hose is resistant to many oils, solvents, ozone, water, fungus, and alkalis, making it a versatile choice for industries such as brake ducting, dry cleaning, and drying systems.
CWGS Ducting Hose
CWGS stands out for its lightweight and flexibility, available in longer lengths than traditional mandrel-built hoses. This single-ply iron oxide red silicone coated fiberglass fabric hose is also reinforced with a spring steel wire helix. It’s resistant to many oils, solvents, ozone, water, fungus, and alkalis, but is not recommended for continuous flexing. The CWGS hose is ideal for aircraft applications due to its properties.
Flex-Vest Ducting Hose
Flex-Vest is an insulated dryer hose with an inner layer of double-ply iron oxide red silicone coated fiberglass fabric and an outer layer of single-ply black neoprene coated polyester fabric. It combines flexibility with minimal heat loss, making it suitable for air handling applications at low positive and low negative pressures. The Flex-Vest hose is also noted for its excellent external abrasion and chemical resistance.
GS Ducting Hose
The GS Ducting Hose is a double-ply iron oxide red silicone coated fiberglass fabric hose, reinforced with a spring steel wire helix and external filament fiberglass cord. It is non-kinking and suited for high-temperature air handling applications, including plastic processing applications. The GS hose’s narrow pitch allows for a tight bending radius while maintaining a smooth air flow.
NS Ducting Hose
NS Ducting Hose features a double-ply fabric hose with an iron oxide red silicone coated fiberglass inner layer and a black silicone coated Nomex® outer layer. The Nomex® material increases the hose’s flex life and abrasion resistance. It is suited for high-temperature air handling applications and is ideal for situations where constant flexing is involved.
Each of these hoses from Flexaust is designed to cater to specific industrial needs, ensuring that operations run smoothly and efficiently. Whether it’s for high-temperature environments, flexible applications, or minimal heat loss requirements, Flexaust’s silicone coated hoses offer reliable solutions for various air and fume ducting challenges.
