Water hose Blindex

synthetic rubbernitrile rubbersynthetic yarn

Yellow external layer for high visibilty/ red inner layer. Other colors are available upon request. Applications: Designed and recommended for firefighting, especially in municipal and industrial fire departments, petrochemical and nuclear plants, navies and other industrial services. Ideal for situations where a high level of protection, safety and long undisrupted service 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. The BLINDEX hose is produced with a revolutionary process developed with the experience of two decades of research and production of rubber covered fire hoses. This technology allows the injection of the inner rubber lining and a double outer cover made of two different compounded rubbers all in one single operation process. Lining Properties: a. Ultimate Tensile Strength of the lining: Mini- mum guaranteed value of 1750 psi (12,000 kpa). b. Ultimate Elongation: 450% minimum. In very extreme conditions where abrasion is the most serious concern BLINDEX will extend hose life. Excellent abrasion resistance when tested according to FM2111 and UL19 abrasion tests. 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.
