Do you run your molds hot for polycarbonate and engineering resins? Say goodbye to cracked and hardened hoses with Plastixs® HiTemp EPDM Hoses, specifically designed for temperatures up to +250°F.
Many standard water hoses have a maximum temperature of about 180°F. For many molders, running these high-temperature materials means overspending on rubber hoses that quickly harden and crack from the heat.
Injection molders and other manufacturers can enjoy decreased downtime and boosted productivity with a high-quality, high temperature EPDM hose designed to withstand years of use that are also ideal in cleanrooms and other medical applications.
A Hose Designed to Last
HiTemp EPDM hoses from Plastixs are designed for use on high-temperature water lines for injection molds and can withstand temperatures to 250°F. Available in red, blue or black, Plastixs EPDM hoses are constructed from a high quality, smooth and antistatic nitrosamine-free rubber compound, reinforced with synthetic textile yarns.
Key features include:
- Ideal for high temperature water lines for molds
- Flexible EPDM cover resists abrasion, ozone, heat, and weather
- Stays flexible at high temperatures
- Synthetic textile yarn reinforcement
- Available in three ID sizes: 3/8”, 1/2” and 3/4”
- In stock for fast delivery
- Oetiker ear clamps, ferrules and crimper also available
Cost-Effective Manufacturing Across Industries
Injection molders in medical, automotive and many other industries use high temperature processes to ensure the consistency and quality of their engineered materials. Standard hoses can harden and break during use if not designed specifically for high temperatures, leading to downtime, injury risk and more.
Plastixs EPDM hoses are one of the only products on the market made of rubber and capable of handling high temperatures for sustained periods of time. These high temperature hoses are designed to last for years operating at temperatures up to 284°F, outperforming the durability and flexibility of standard hoses that cannot hold up in these environments.
More Cost-Effective than Fabricated PTFE Hose
If you’ve been using fabricated PTFE hoses because standard hoses break during use, you’ll find that our HiTemp EPDM hoses offer a dramatic price advantage while also offering more flexibility for custom lengths to optimize the installation.
Custom Lengths & Free Samples
As one of our top-selling products over the last decade, the EPDM hose is a popular repeat-purchase for customers who, after using the HiTemp model, often never return to standard or PTFE hoses.
HiTemp EPDM hose can be cut to size so it’s available by the foot, as well as in bulk orders of 100-165 foot rolls, and is compatible with standard barbed fittings and clamps. See for yourself with a free sample today – we’ll send you a 5’ to 10’ sample that you can run for a few months to see how well it works.
