In the last piece, we learned the differences between PU hose and PVC hose in the property. While in this piece, let me introduce you the difference of them in application.
PU hose general application
PU hose has excellent wear, oil and weather resistance and high elasticity. Thus it is widely used in environments that need to withstand high friction and tensile stress. It plays an important role in liquid, gas and powder delivery systems in the industrial field. Especially in those that require high wear, tear and weather resistance. Such as petroleum, chemical, food and drug delivery. In addition, PU hose is also widely used in the medical and automotive fields due to its good softness and hydrolysis resistance. Such as medical equipment, agricultural machinery and automotive pipelines.
PVC hose common application
PVC hose is widely used in many fields due to its good corrosion resistance, insulation and low cost. It plays an important role in the field of wire and cable protection. It can effectively protect wires and cables from damage from the external environment. In the construction field, PVC pipe is ideal for drainage, ventilation and cable protection. In the agricultural field, flexible PVC pipe is mainly for irrigation systems to transport irrigation water.
From above we can see that PU hose is more suitable for deliver abrasive mediums and food. While PVC hose is more ideal for wire protection and water supply. Thus if you need a flexible hose, choose the right one according to the medium.
