Aromatic solvent is a special chemical substance. It has high chemical stability and thermal stability and can dissolve a variety of organic matter. Therefore, it is widely used in the industrial field. However, the danger of aromatic solvents cannot be ignored. Its vapor is irritating and toxic, and long-term contact can cause harm to the human body. At the same time, aromatic solvents have a high boiling point and solubility. It is also flammable and explosive. It is easy to form an explosive mixture when in contact with air. Therefore, when selecting the material of the delivery hose, the features of aromatic solvents must be fully considered to ensure safety and reliability. Aromatic solvent deliver hose should have the properties as follow.
Chemical corrosion resistance
Aromatic solvents are corrosive to many materials. Therefore, materials with good chemical corrosion resistance are preferred. Here Everflex recommends you polyurethane hose, KFM hose and silicone hose.
Abrasion resistance
During the delivery process, the inner diameter, outer diameter, and wall thickness of the hose are greatly worn. Therefore, it is necessary to select a material with high wear resistance. While these can be PU hose, neoprene hose and nylon hose.
Tensile strength
To ensure that the conveying hose is not easily to damage under high pressure and high temperature, it is necessary to select a material with high tensile strength. For example, steel wire braid, high strength fiber braid, etc.
Heat resistance
Aromatic solvents are prone to decomposition, polymerization and other reactions at high temperatures. Therefore, the deliver hose must have good heat resistance. While PU pipe and silicone pipe are ideal for high temp use.
