A chemical transfer hose is designed for the safe transfer of chemicals, aggressive fluids, and suitable process media in industrial environments. Selecting the right chemical hose requires careful consideration of chemical compatibility, operating pressure, temperature, vacuum conditions, flexibility, and installation requirements.
Hidroman offers the CHEM TEFLON PTFE chemical hose for demanding chemical processing and industrial transfer applications.
The hose features a PTFE inner tube, reinforced construction, and an EPDM outer cover designed to provide resistance to abrasion, aging, and ozone.
The CHEM TEFLON series is designed for applications requiring chemical resistance, temperature resistance, pressure performance, and flexibility.
Key features include:
A PTFE chemical hose uses polytetrafluoroethylene as the fluid-contact inner layer. PTFE is widely used in demanding industrial applications where high chemical resistance and a wide operating temperature range are required.
The CHEM TEFLON hose combines a PTFE inner tube with textile reinforcement, steel wire spirals, flexible copper wires, and an EPDM outer cover.
This construction makes the hose suitable for selected chemical transfer and industrial process applications when the chemical and operating conditions are compatible with the product specifications.
Chemical transfer hoses are used in industrial systems where liquids and process media must be transferred safely between equipment.
Typical applications include:
The hose should always be selected based on the specific chemical, concentration, temperature, pressure, and duration of contact.

The PTFE inner tube provides the fluid-contact surface for applications requiring a high level of chemical resistance.
The hose incorporates synthetic textile reinforcement, zinc-coated steel wire spirals, and flexible copper wires to provide mechanical support and flexibility.
The smooth EPDM outer cover provides resistance to abrasion, aging, and ozone. This construction is intended for demanding industrial environments.
Choosing a chemical transfer hose requires a detailed review of the application.
The most important consideration is compatibility between the hose's wetted materials and the chemical being transferred.
The chemical name alone may not be sufficient. Concentration, temperature, pressure, and exposure time can affect material compatibility.
The hose's working pressure must be suitable for the maximum pressure of the system.
The CHEM TEFLON range provides working pressure ratings of up to 16 bar / approximately 232 psi, depending on hose size.
Temperature can significantly affect hose performance and chemical compatibility.
The specified operating temperature range for CHEM TEFLON is -40°C to +150°C (-40°F to +302°F).
Vacuum capability is important in suction, unloading, and process applications.
The CHEM TEFLON series is specified with a vacuum resistance of 675 mmHg / 26.6 inHg.
The hose must not be installed below its specified minimum bend radius. Excessive bending can damage the reinforcement structure and reduce service life.
PTFE is widely selected for demanding chemical applications because of its resistance to many aggressive media and its broad temperature capability.
Potential advantages of a PTFE-lined chemical hose include:
However, PTFE should not be considered universally compatible with every chemical. Chemical compatibility must be verified for the specific application.
Chemical transfer systems require proper hose selection, compatible fittings, correct installation, and regular inspection.
Before installation:
For hazardous or aggressive chemicals, the complete transfer system should be reviewed by qualified personnel before operation.
The CHEM TEFLON product information specifies:
These specifications can be relevant for selected pharmaceutical, sanitary, food-related, and process applications. The specific regulatory requirements of the final application should always be verified before installation.

A chemical transfer hose is an industrial hose designed to safely transfer compatible chemicals and process fluids between equipment, tanks, and process systems.
A PTFE chemical hose uses PTFE as the inner fluid-contact layer and is designed for applications where chemical resistance and temperature performance are important.
The specified operating temperature range is -40°C to +150°C (-40°F to +302°F).
Depending on the hose size, the specified working pressure is 12 or 16 bar, approximately 174 or 232 psi.
Yes. The product specification lists a vacuum resistance of 675 mmHg / 26.6 inHg.
The product information specifies FDA CFR 21 §177.2600, as well as USP Class VI, ISO 10993 and 3-A Sanitary Standard Class II information. Application-specific requirements should be verified before use.
No. Although PTFE has broad chemical resistance, no hose material should be assumed to be compatible with every chemical. The specific chemical, concentration, temperature, pressure, and exposure conditions must be evaluated.
