Thermoplastic polyurethane hose in the early 1980s in Germany, Japan, the United States, France and other developed countries, a few have begun to use. Europe and the United States since 2003, in the raw material requirements to replace PVC. Some early nylon hose manufacturer such as Asia and gradually try to manufacture poly polyurethane elastic hose with environmental protection type TPU.

In the 1990s has been widely used in hydraulic, pneumatic, conveyer mortar, water conservancy, pharmaceutical and other industries. Thermoplastic polyurethane is between between rubber and plastic products. It not only has good elasticity and high temperature resistance, but also has some plastic oil corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, aging resistance, low temperature resistance, tensile resistance performance.

According to the data of polyurethane has more superior characteristic than natural rubber: natural rubber oil resistance is 15 ~ 20 times; wear resistance is 30 ~ 50 times of natural rubber; aging properties of natural rubber is 3 ~ 5 times; can work in between 40 to 120 DEG C thermoplastic. Polyurethane hose is widely used, a wide range of application. From the pressure, it can not only do low pressure hose, high pressure hose steel wire reinforcement and fiber reinforced high-pressure hose; from the suitable medium, it can be a variety of trachea, woodworking, hydraulic hose, brake pipe, gas pipe, oil pipe, oil pipe, light acid (alkali) tube, exhaust pipe mortar cleaning pipe, tube, food, medicine etc.; from the application of the industry, it can be a variety of automotive, motorcycle, engineering machinery, ships, machine tools, train, high pressure cleaning machinery, mining machinery, petrochemical equipment, hydraulic equipment, pneumatic equipment, cable sheath , instrumentation, equipment, food, medical equipment and other products using the hose. Although thermoplastic polyurethane raw materials processing difficulty is big and the price is more expensive, but because of its use of long life, low use cost, social benefits than rubber, will become rubber hose of the upgrading of products.

Pneumatic tube and pipe, pneumatic hose, it has many varieties, generally use the TPU raw materials to production, stable quality, high pressure resistance, weather resistance, abrasion resistance, twists and turns, the tube smooth supple, bright color, high elasticity, resistance to flexure, small bending radius.TPU is divided into many types such as polyether TPU, polyester TPU, polycaprolactone TPU, modified TPU, is commonly used polyether and polyester and modified polyester TPU, pneumatic tube gas, such as water will affect the service life of the polyether pneumatic tube can breathe and water, were more stable normally, longer service life, is the ideal pneumatic pipe material. The gripper tube is the middle tube is wrapped with a layer of fiber, in the ordinary gas so that the gripper tube than ordinary pneumatic tube is strong pressure, no explosive tube, the modified TPU is mainly used in the special hose.
