When it comes to extreme temperature, chemical, and abrasion resistance, Gates hydraulic hoses are designed to deliver. The Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) material is inert to most commercial chemicals, has a low operating friction coefficient, and is impenetrable by both hot and cold moisture, giving these hydraulic hose systems their non-contaminating and non-aging characteristics.
Recommended for air compressor discharge, hot oil and fluids, hot and greasy environments. Electrostatic Discharge: Many applications involving PTFE hose do not require a conductive tube. But you must review the potential for electrostatic discharge for every application and be aware that static electricity can be hazardous. In those cases where electrostatic discharge can occur, conductive PTFE hose with a conductive tube (Gates C14CT) is recommended.
