Due to beneficial qualities of ether and ester based polyurethane hose products are commonly utilized within the kinds of industry. Each material's unique chemical composition directly affects their performance and durability, allowing them to be used for different applications. Both ether and ester based polyurethane tubing products deliver beneficial qualities that provide versatility for a wide range of application.
Ether Polyurethane
Ether based PU tubing is resistant to a wide range of conditions including humidity, moisture, fungi, kinking, abrasion, and chemicals.
Advantages includes:UV resistant
Absorbs shock
Excellent abrasion and tear resistance
Good chemical resistance
Low water absorption, excellent choice for pneumatic applications
Mold resistant
Does not build-up heat
Ester Polyurethane
Ester based polyurethane tubing offers excellent dielectric strength and wear resistance, but is not as resistant to moisture when compared to the Ether material.
Advantages include:Withstands higher temperatures longer than Ether
Better fuel resistance than Ether
Good chemical resistance
Higher rebound
