TPU Lined Hose

How do the high flexibility and lightweight characteristics of TPU lining improve the convenience of actual operation? ​

Material basis of flexibility and lightweight ​

The excellent performance of TPU material comes from its unique molecular structure. At the microscopic level, the soft segment is composed of oligomer polyols, and the molecular chain is flexible and free to move, giving the material elasticity and flexibility; the hard segment is generated by the reaction of diisocyanate and chain extender, providing rigidity and strength to the material. The special combination of soft and hard segments forms an island-type microphase separation structure, which makes TPU have excellent flexibility while maintaining a certain strength. Its chain segments are highly mobile and can deform to a large extent without damage when subjected to force. It also has a strong ability to recover deformation. Even after repeated bending, it is not easy to crack and break, which fundamentally guarantees the morphological stability of the hose in complex use environments. ​
In terms of lightweight, TPU itself has a relatively low density. Compared with rubber, PVC and other materials used in traditional hoses, it is lighter in weight at the same volume. When producing TPU Lined Layflat Hose, through advanced structural design and process optimization, the ratio and thickness of each layer of the hose are further adjusted to make the overall weight distribution of the hose more reasonable, and to minimize the sense of weight during use while ensuring performance. Jun'an Fire Technology has modern and advanced production equipment and professional management talents, and has brought together a group of senior technicians and professional designers. It can accurately control the production process, give full play to the lightweight advantages of TPU materials, and produce lightweight and durable hose products. ​

Improved convenience in the field of firefighting and rescue​

In firefighting and rescue scenes, every second of delay may lead to irreversible consequences. The highly flexible TPU lined flat hose can adapt to various narrow and tortuous spaces with a very small bending radius. In the intricate corridors and stairwells inside the building, or in the ruins after the collapse, traditional hoses are often difficult to bend and hard to lay, which delays the rescue time. The TPU lined flat hose, with its excellent flexibility, can easily bypass obstacles and be quickly laid in place, greatly shortening the rescue preparation time. Its smooth bending also reduces the resistance loss during water delivery, ensuring that the water used for firefighting can be delivered to the fire source at a stable pressure and flow rate, improving the efficiency of firefighting. ​
Fire hoses need to work under extreme conditions, including high temperature, high pressure, chemical corrosion, physical impact, etc., and are extremely strict in the screening of TPU materials. The rubber/PVC/TPU lined fire hoses designed and produced by the company fully absorb the advantages of similar products at home and abroad. In the production of TPU lined flat hoses, the material supply and selection links are strictly controlled. The lightweight TPU lined flat hose effectively alleviates the equipment burden of firefighters. Firefighting tasks often require long-term and high-intensity actions, and the weight of the equipment carried by firefighters directly affects their speed and endurance. Compared with traditional hoses, the TPU lined flat hose has a greatly reduced weight, which makes firefighters more agile in long-distance travel, climbing stairs, etc., and can approach the fire scene and carry out rescue at a faster speed. At the same time, reducing the weight also reduces the rapid consumption of physical energy, allowing firefighters to maintain good physical functions and reaction capabilities during long rescue operations, so as to more efficiently complete a series of complex tasks such as firefighting and saving people. ​

Operational convenience in the field of agricultural irrigation​

Agricultural irrigation has a wide range of work and a long cycle, and requires high convenience of irrigation equipment. The high flexibility of the TPU-lined flat water hose enables it to fit closely to the surface of farmland with different terrains when laid. Whether it is flat cultivated land, mountainous areas with slopes and gullies, or irregularly shaped farmland, the water hose can extend naturally to ensure smooth water flow and reduce the side leakage and dispersion of water caused by the lack of fit between the water hose and the ground. This good fit can also prevent the water hose from shifting due to ground friction during irrigation, ensure the accuracy and uniformity of the irrigation area, and thus improve the irrigation quality of crops. ​
Jun'an Fire Technology not only focuses on the field of firefighting, but also produces agricultural water hoses that take advantage of TPU lining. Lightweight TPU lined flat hose has significant advantages in agricultural irrigation. In daily irrigation operations, farmers need to frequently carry, lay and put away hoses. Traditional hoses are heavy, difficult to carry by one person, and the efficiency of multi-person collaboration is low. Jun'an Fire Technology's lightweight TPU lined flat hose can be easily operated by one person, greatly reducing labor intensity. Compared with the traditional hose that requires multi-person collaboration to carry, this hose allows farmers to adjust the irrigation area more flexibly, change the irrigation layout in time according to the water demand of crops, and improve the efficiency of irrigation operations. At the same time, the reduced weight also reduces the physical consumption of the hose during the handling process. Farmers can complete irrigation work in more areas in one day, improving the overall agricultural production efficiency. The good wear resistance of TPU material makes the hose not easily worn by stones, crop roots, etc. when used in complex field environments, extending the service life of the hose, reducing the frequency of replacement, and further reducing agricultural production costs. ​

Efficiency optimization of industrial cleaning operations​

Industrial cleaning faces various complex equipment structures and narrow operating spaces. With its high flexibility, the TPU lined flat hose can freely shuttle through narrow parts such as pipes and gaps inside the equipment. When cleaning the pipeline system, the hose can smoothly pass through bends and branch pipes, and accurately deliver the cleaning fluid to every corner that needs to be cleaned. For some large equipment with irregular shapes, the hose can also fit the contour of the equipment surface to achieve all-round cleaning, which improves the coverage and cleaning effect of the cleaning work. When cleaning the interior of precision instruments or complex machinery, the flexibility advantage of the TPU lined flat hose is more prominent. It can avoid collision damage to the equipment due to the hardness of the hose, ensuring the safe and efficient cleaning operation. ​
In industrial cleaning operations, operators need to hold the hose for a long time to operate. The lightweight characteristics of the TPU lined flat hose greatly reduce the burden on the operator's arms. Long-term operation is not easy to produce fatigue, allowing operators to maintain a stable operating posture and strength, and more accurately control the spray direction and flow of the cleaning fluid. Jun'an Fire Technology selects suitable TPU materials to make hoses according to customers' specific application needs and standard requirements in industrial cleaning. Different types of industrial cleaning fluids have different chemical properties. The TPU lined flat hose produced by Jun'an Fire Technology can withstand the erosion of various industrial cleaning fluids due to the good chemical stability of TPU materials, reducing the risk of damage to the hose due to chemical corrosion, ensuring the continuity of the cleaning operation, avoiding downtime and maintenance due to hose failure, and improving the overall efficiency of industrial production. In addition, the surface of the TPU lined flat hose is smooth and not easy to adhere to dirt. It is easy to clean and store after cleaning, which further improves the convenience of industrial cleaning operations. ​

Enhanced convenience in storage and maintenance links​

In terms of storage, the high flexibility of the TPU lined flat hose allows it to be wound and stored more tightly. Compared with traditional hoses, the volume after winding is smaller, which can save a lot of storage space. For places that need to store a large number of hoses, such as fire material warehouses, agricultural material reserve centers, industrial equipment maintenance warehouses, etc., this space saving effect is significant and improves the space utilization of warehouses. At the same time, the tightly wound hose is not easy to become loose or entangled during handling and transportation, which is convenient for management and loading and unloading. The TPU lined flat hose produced by Jun'an Fire Technology is designed with the convenience of storage and transportation in mind. By optimizing the edge processing and winding process of the hose, the hose is more regular during storage, reducing the risk of damage caused by entanglement. ​
In the maintenance process, the lightweight characteristics make the inspection and maintenance of the hose easier. The staff can easily carry and unfold the hose and perform daily maintenance operations such as appearance inspection and pressure testing. The TPU lined flat hose has high performance stability, is not prone to breakage, leakage and other problems, and has a relatively low maintenance frequency. Even if some parts need to be replaced, the lightweight design reduces the difficulty of the replacement operation, saving manpower and time costs. The durability of the TPU material extends the service life of the hose, further reducing the overall maintenance and replacement costs. Jun'an Fire Technology also provides customers with comprehensive after-sales service and maintenance guidance to help customers better maintain the hose, extend its service life, and create greater value for customers.
