The materials used in Transfer Oil thermoplastic hoses offer excellent chemical resistance to a wide range of substances, including oils, solvents, and gases. Furthermore, we design specialized hose solutions capable of withstanding highly aggressive chemicals used in demanding environments.
Thermoplastic hose covers made with Polyurethane or Polyester-based elastomers offer high abrasion resistance, significantly extending service life compared to standard rubber hoses. They also exceed the stringent abrasion requirements set by leading material handling equipment manufacturers.
The standard cover materials used in Transfer Oil thermoplastic hoses offer superior resistance to ultraviolet (UV) radiation and ozone compared to rubber-based elastomers. For marine and offshore applications, our MARINER versions feature specifically engineered covers that ensure long-term performance in seawater environments.
Compared to conventional rubber hoses, inner tubes materials of Transfer Oil thermoplastic hoses feature lower gas permeability, enhancing system efficiency and minimizing fluid loss over time.
Thermoplastic hoses can be bonded into twin or multiline assemblies, using a process that is unique in the industry and fully preserves hose integrity. This technique allows the combination of hoses with identical or differing sizes and pressure ratings, and can optionally include the integration of cables or electrical conduits.
Thanks to the unique properties of polymers, thermoplastic synthetic braided hoses can be easily cut without the need for high-powered cutting equipment. In many cases, simple manual or blade cutting tools are sufficient. In addition, the clean inner tube surface helps reduce the risk of fluid contamination caused by residual particles in hydraulic systems.
Reduced pressure losses enable the use of smaller inner diameters (ID) hoses, without compromising performance. This results in lower costs, improved efficiency and a reduction in overall system weight.
A reduced outer diameter (OD) allows the use of hose reels with greater capacity, helping to optimize space and improve storage efficiency. It also facilitates installation in confined or complex routing environments, such as machinery with limited clearance or systems with structural obstructions. Additionally, it contributes to lowering the overall weight of the system.
Thermoplastic hoses are up to 30–70% lighter than equivalent rubber hoses. A clear example is our CP NEO hose for hydraulic applications, which offers a substantial weight reduction compared to traditional rubber hoses used in similar systems. In fact, a conventional rubber solution can weigh up to 70% more than CP NEO. This weight advantage helps lower energy consumption and enhances system efficiency by reducing the overall weight of the equipment.
Thermoplastic hoses are highly flexible, featuring significantly reduced bend radii - especially in common sizes such as 3/16", 1/4", and 3/8". This makes them ideal for easy routing in tight or confined spaces, simplifying installation and reducing assembly time.
Transfer Oil thermoplastic hoses are fully compatible with a broad range of eco-friendly and biodegradable hydraulic fluids, making them an ideal choice for most advanced sustainable hydraulic systems.
When stored under appropriate conditions, thermoplastic hoses do not degrade and maintain their performance properties over extended periods, offering a longer shelf life compared to conventional rubber hoses.
Thermoplastic hoses are manufactured without a mandrel, allowing for continuous production of extended lengths. High-capacity braiders ensure a prolonged reinforcement of the hose, without any interruptions.
Transfer Oil fittings are specifically designed and tested to optimize performance with our thermoplastic hoses. Available in both carbon steel and stainless steel, this integrated system ensures safe, reliable, and leak-free connections.
Transfer Oil thermoplastic hoses are available in a wide range of working pressures — from 20 to 3,800 bar (290 to 55,000 psi) — covering low, high, very high (VHP), and ultra-high pressure (UHP) applications. This makes Transfer Oil the only independent hose manufacturer able to offer products covering virtually every pressure range that a flexible hose can reach with the technology know today.
Thanks to the low elongation properties of their reinforcing braids, Transfer Oil hoses feature minimal volumetric expansion under pressure. This ensures faster and more precise system responses, preventing dangerous pressure loss of the hydraulic system. Moreover, the reduced expansion lowers the amount of fluid required to fill the system, cutting operational costs.
Standard hydraulic hoses operate within a temperature range of -40 °C to +100 °C (-40 °F to +212 °F), and up to +70 °C (+158 °F) when used with air or water-based fluids. For more extreme environments, special products are available: CPLT hoses withstand temperatures as low as -55 °C (-67 °F), while PTFE hoses perform reliably from -60 °C to +260 °C (-76 °F to +500 °F).
In high-voltage or electrically sensitive environments, the use of non-conductive hoses is essential for safety. Transfer Oil offers a wide range of non-conductive thermoplastic hoses that comply with SAE J517/J343 and ISO 3949 standards for electrical non-conductivity.
Transfer Oil hose covers are polyurethane or polyester based elastomers. Available in a wide variety of colors, all cover materials are UV stabilized and are highly resistant to abrasion, ensuring extended service life. Cover variations include properties that are resistant to a wide range of fluids, chemical substances, extreme temperatures and atmospheric conditions.
Transfer Oil thermoplastic hoses can be customized in terms of cover color, branding, and packaging options. Thanks to laser marking technology, durable and highly visible branding can be applied without the use of inks or solvents, allowing for the addition of logos or customer-specific information. Twin-line and multiline versions can be customized in the same way to ensure full brand consistency.
