Designed and recommended for travelling irrigators, lateral pivots, heavy duty dredge discharge, slurry, sludge and liquid manure pumping and any application where high resistance to abrasion is required.
Construction:
Made from circularly woven 100% high tenacity synthetic yarn, completely protected and locked-in by a tough, highly resistant synthetic nitrile rubber & PVC blend, extruded through the weave and forming a single homogenous construction without the use of glues or adhesives.
Lining Properties:
a. Ultimate Tensile Strength of the lining and cover: Minimum guaranteed value of 1,500 psi (10,500 kPa).
b. Ultimate Elongation: 400% minimum.
c. Accelerated Aging Test: The tensile strength and ultimate elongation of the vulcanized rubber compound have been tested with oxygen at a pressure of 300 psi +/- 10 psi (2100 kPa +/- 70 kPa), and a temperature of 70 degrees Celsius +/-1 degree (158 ºF +/- 18 ºF) for a period of 96 hours, after which the properties of the rubber are at least 60% of the original values.
The OROFLEX BANDAMA hose will extend the lifetime of your application when under extreme conditions, where abrasion is the main concern. Abrasion resistance > 2000 cycles.
Ozone Resistance:
No visible signs of cracking appear on the lining or cover when tested in accordance with ASTM D518 Procedure B, 100pphm/104ºF (40ºC).
Exposure to seawater and contamination by most chemical substances, hydrocarbons, oils, and greases has no effect on the short or long term performance of the hose.
