The material selection of ink delivery hose is crucial to ensure the smooth progress of the delivery process. The following are some common ink delivery hose materials and their characteristics:
Rubber hose
Rubber hoses have good elasticity and wear resistance and can withstand certain pressure and impact. At the same time, they are generally resistant to chemicals and are suitable for conveying chemicals such as ink.
Polyurethane hoses
PU hoses have high wear resistance and corrosion resistance and can resist chemicals that may be present in ink. In addition, they also have good elasticity and flexibility and can adapt to various complex delivery lines.
Polyethylene hoses
PE hoses are light and durable and have good stability to many chemicals. They are usually used in low-pressure ink delivery systems, but in some special cases, they can also be used for high pressure delivery.
In addition to the above common materials, there are some special hoses, such as nylon hose, PTFE hose, etc., which may also be used in specific ink delivery occasions.
