    Thermoplastic Hoses vs. Rubber Hoses: Why Flexibility and Durability Matter

    When working with construction or hydraulic lift equipment, it’s important that your equipment has the proper hoses. Thermoplastic hoses can be an excellent option for many applications. They are made of synthetic polymers such as polyurethane, nylon, and polyester, and they are designed to withstand very high temperatures.

    Thermoplastic hoses have many advantages over their rubber hose counterparts. Where rubber hydraulic hoses have a steel braid that can wear out and break when twisted or flexed, thermoplastic hoses are much more flexible. Thermoplastic hoses have a tight bend radius, and even when subjected to repeated bending, they won’t weaken. They are also known for being resistant to abrasion because the layers are chemically and mechanically bonded during the manufacturing process. In other words, the braid is integrated into the hose material and can withstand a variety of environmental pressures as a result. In addition, thermoplastic hoses are more affordable than rubber hydraulic hoses because of their lighter weight and domestic production.
