Corroflon GP PTFE Hohe
Typical Convoluted PTFE Hose
 |
Design & Purpose
Convoluted, Reinforced PTFE Lined Hose
Corroflon was launched in 1978 and, since then, has been continually
updated and improved. Now it is the industry-standard convoluted flexible
PTFE hose for major chemical, pharmaceutical and food companies
worldwide.
The key to Corroflon’s success lies in its design and build quality, which
guarantees a long, safe and reliable service life.
Corroflon’s design differs from every other convoluted PTFE hose on the
market, which results in distinctive and measurable performance and safety
advantages.
Firstly, Corroflon will give better cleanability and drainability than any
other convoluted PTFE hose on the market. This is because Corroflon is
designed and manufactured in such a way that the angle of the convolutions
is extremely shallow - 80° to 120°, compared with only 45° to 65° in other
convoluted hose designs.
Secondly, Corroflon is the only PTFE lined convoluted hose on the market
to be fully kink and vacuum resistant at high pressures and temperatures.
This is because Corroflon’s design incorporates a thick section external
helical reinforcement wire which gives the radial support necessary to
ensure maximum strength, whilst maintaining optimum flexibility and
cleanability. The helix wire is welded directly to the end fittings at each
end, ensuring security of attachment and electrical continuity.

| And thirdly, Aflex is the only PTFE hose manufacturer to guarantee a minimum PTFE liner thickness of 1.5mm for hose sizes
1” and above, which ensures sufficient strength to prevent the tube from being internally pressurised from a sine wave shape
into an extended square wave shape, which would lead to porosity, and eventually premature failure of the tube. This thick
wall liner also minimises permeation, and is extended through the end fittings to give an uninterrupted clean flow of fluid
through the fitting. |
