TPU Hose, TPU Layflat hose is made from extruded thermoplastic polyester-based polyurethane (TPU) with excellent wear & tear properties. The reinforcement of the TPU Fracking Hose is made from circular woven filament polyester yarn. A TPU layflat hose is a type of hose specifically designed for water transfer and discharge applications. It is constructed using TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) material, which provides excellent durability, flexibility, and resistance to abrasion and chemicals. TPU layflat hoses are commonly used in industries such as agriculture, construction, mining, and irrigation.

TPU layflat hoses are known for their lightweight nature and easy handling. They are designed to be flat when not in use, allowing for compact storage and transportation. When water is pumped through the hose, it expands and becomes rigid, enabling efficient water transfer over long distances. One of the key advantages of TPU layflat hoses is their high tensile strength, allowing them to withstand high-pressure applications. They are reinforced with synthetic fibers or polyester yarns, providing additional strength and preventing the hose from bursting or collapsing under pressure. TPU hoses can handle both low and high-pressure water transfer tasks. TPU layflat hoses offer excellent resistance to punctures, abrasion, and UV rays, making them suitable for use in demanding outdoor environments. They have a smooth inner surface that minimizes friction and ensures efficient water flow. The hoses are also resistant to mildew and mold, allowing for long-term use in wet conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a TPU layflat hose?
A TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) layflat hose uses a TPU inner tube and cover instead of PVC. TPU offers significantly better abrasion resistance, higher flexibility in cold temperatures, and resistance to oil and fuel, making it ideal for mining and demanding outdoor applications.
How does TPU compare to PVC for layflat hoses?
TPU layflat hoses are lighter, more abrasion-resistant, and remain flexible at temperatures as low as −40°C, compared to PVC which can become stiff below −10°C. TPU also has better resistance to oils and fuels. However, TPU hoses have a higher unit price than equivalent PVC versions.
What is the working pressure range?
Working pressure ranges from 80 PSI to 200 PSI depending on diameter and wall thickness, with burst pressure rated at a minimum 3× working pressure. TPU construction allows for a higher strength-to-weight ratio than PVC.
Is the TPU layflat hose suitable for mining?
Yes, it is specifically designed for mining dewatering. The abrasion-resistant TPU outer cover withstands the rough surfaces, sharp rock edges, and heavy equipment contact common in underground and open-pit mining environments.
What is the temperature operating range?
The TPU layflat hose operates from −40°C to +80°C (−40°F to +176°F), far exceeding the PVC version's range, making it suitable for Arctic conditions and hot outdoor environments.
What sizes are available?
Available from 1 inch to 8 inches (25 mm to 200 mm). Standard roll length is 100 meters. Custom thicknesses and diameters are available for large OEM orders.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard MOQ is 1,000 meters. Given the premium material cost, please contact our sales team for accurate pricing and project quotations.
