A chemical hose is essential for companies working with chemicals, acids or solvents. The right hose ensures the safe transfer of liquids while preventing leaks and equipment damage. Depending on the material, chemical hoses offer excellent resistance to corrosion, aggressive media and, in some cases, elevated temperatures. Whether you operate in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food or water-treatment industries, selecting the right hose is crucial for safe and efficient processes. 

What is a chemical hose?

A chemical hose is a specialised hose designed for conveying chemicals, acids, solvents and other industrial liquids. These hoses are manufactured from materials with specific resistance properties—such as PTFE, EPDM or specialised synthetic rubbers—to ensure safe handling under demanding conditions. The correct material choice depends entirely on the chemical to be transported.

• Customisation available: we supply customised chemical hoses and fit them with the right fittings. 

Choosing the right chemical hose

Choosing the right chemical hose depends on the application, the chemicals being transported and the environment in which the hose will be used. Within our product range, we offer, among others: 

• EPDM chemical hoses: for transporting acids and bases.
• PTFE hoses: resistant to high temperatures and extreme chemicals.
• PVC hoses: for less aggressive media and cost-effective for general use.
• Rubber hoses: durable and ideal for heavy-duty industrial use. 

Applications of a chemical hose

Chemical hoses are essential in a wide range of industries due to their resistance to aggressive substances and safe handling of liquids. In the chemical industry, they are used for transporting corrosive fluids and solvents. The food sector relies on them for the hygienic transfer of liquid products, while in the pharmaceutical industry, they ensure the safe processing of sensitive fluids in lab environments. Additionally, chemical hoses play a vital role in water purification and treatment, where they deliver dosing agents and other chemicals required for purification processes. 

Maintenance of chemical hoses

To maximise the life of a chemical hose, proper maintenance is necessary. We recommend:

• Check for wear and tear.  
• Flush the hose thoroughly after use, especially with changing chemicals.  
• Check couplings and connections for leaks.  
• Store hoses in a dry, clean place out of direct sunlight.
