READ MOREProduct features and industrial adaptability
Lightweight and flat design: The thickness is only a few millimeters when unloaded, saving storage space (compared with traditional reel hoses).
Quick deployment capability: No natural curling after unfolding, reducing operation time, suitable for sudden fires.
High-strength material: Polyurethane (PU) or rubber-coated fabric, oil-resistant and chemical-resistant (such as chemical plant leakage scenarios).
High-pressure compatibility: The working pressure can reach more than 1.0MPa, meeting the needs of industrial-grade water cannons or remote water supply.
Typical industrial application scenarios
Petrochemical plant: Antistatic design avoids spark risks and is resistant to hydrocarbon fuel corrosion.
Power facilities: Insulating materials are suitable for substation fire extinguishing to avoid secondary disasters caused by water stains and conduction.
Logistics and warehousing: Rapid laying to cover large-area shelf fires and reduce the risk of hoses being hooked by debris.
Mines and tunnels: The wear-resistant outer layer adapts to rough ground, and the compact storage is suitable for narrow spaces.
In extreme firefighting scenarios—from industrial blazes to wildfire containment—the ability to withstand intense heat is non-negotiable. EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) fire hoses have emerged as a game-changer, offering unmatched performance where traditional rubber or PVC hoses fail.
Why EPDM Excels in High-Temperature Environments
Heat Resistance (Up to 150°C+)
EPDM's synthetic rubber formulation retains flexibility and structural integrity even under prolonged exposure to scorching temperatures, preventing hose degradation or bursting.
Steam & Hot Water Compatibility
Ideal for industrial facilities (e.g., refineries, power plants) where steam-cleaning or hot-water suppression systems are used.
Flame Retardant Properties
Unlike some polymers, EPDM resists ignition and slows flame spread, critical for protecting firefighters in volatile environments.
Additional Advantages for Firefighting
Abrasion Resistance: Holds up against rough surfaces during drag-and-rescue operations.
Weatherproof: Performs in sub-zero cold or UV-exposed outdoor settings.
Low Maintenance: Resists ozone cracking and requires less frequent replacement.
