Built to resist permeation from soaps, waxes and chemicals used in car care. The fiber reinforcement provides excellent flex-life fatigue and will not corrode if exposed (no rust). Available twinline hose limits abrasion and tangling. Car wash applications include conveyors, sprayers, tire scrubbers, brushes, mitters and dryers.
Using Parflex thermoplastic tubing in the car wash allows for one product to be used in multiple applications, thus reducing scrap and inventory. All of these tubes are flexible and have good chemical resistance, with some performing better than others in particular applications. Applications include pre-wash, soak, control rooms, chemical sprayers, wax sprayers.
Polyethylene is widely used with pneumatics and its semi-rigid nature permits use with push to connect fittings without clamps. Parker polyethylene (PE) tubing is produced from a high molecular weight resin to provide increased dimensional stability, uniformity and long-term strength.
Nylon is recognized as a rugged, light, corrosion and abrasion-resistant engineered plastic. It has exceptional elastic memory and can withstand repeated flexing over long periods of time without fatigue or fracture. Nylon also offers high-impact resistance and low moisture absorption.
Polyurethane combines the best properties of both plastic and rubber. It offers abrasion and tear resistance, high tensile and elongation values, and low compression set. It is naturally flexible and exhibits virtually unlimited flexural abilities. It resists pressure and vacuum better than corresponding sizes of PVC or rubber.
