Why Use Composite Hose

  • Saftey
    Composite hoses are designed to be “fail safe”.
    There are basically 2 areas on a that can fail:

    a) The Hose
    Because of the many layers of tubes and films that make up a composite hose, there is not a direct leak path for liquid to follow. For a leak to occure, liquid must surpentine its way through the many layers of the hose until it reaches the outer cover. Once the liquid reaches the outer cover, small drops will form along the seam line indicating that a leak is occurring.
    In other types of hose, leaks are usually more catastrophic. It is possible for the wall of the hose to rupture, without any warning, and create a large scale failure in the hose.

    b) The End Fitting
    The end fittings on composite hose are specifically designed to be “fail safe” and reduce the chance of a fitting blowing off the end of the hose.

    Composite hose fittings have a spiral shank or tail piece that actually screws into the composite hose. For the end fitting to blow out of the hose it has to be unscrewed from
    the hose. The screwed in end fitting in combination with the swaged on ferrule make this type of coupling one of the safest to use.

  • ยป Why Use Composite Hose

    Due to the unique stronger materials in Dantec hose, we can manufacture the hose with less layers of material, making the hose lighter and more flexible than our competitors. The stronger materials also give us a higher safety factor/burst pressure.

    The materials we use for our composite hose also carry out many other benefits over the regular composite hose:

    • Cast polypropylene instead of BOPP – more flexible and less permeable
    • ECTFE instead PTFE – mechanically stronger and less permeable
    • Custom made PP fabric instead of generic packaging fabrics – technical and stronger design
    • Superior assembly and end tail pitch matching design – leads to superior end fitting retention
    • Dry Fit System – it is technically cleaner/environmentally friendly using a ferrule and seal
    • All hoses hand are built on our special coated mandrel – eliminates tears
    • In house branding tape – unique marking
    • COP Safe System – insulated hoses with sensors that work with all leading cross over prevention systems
