A composite hose is designed to safely transport a wide range of liquids, such as chemicals, oils and fuels, depending on the hose construction. Its multi-layer design provides excellent chemical compatibility and reliability for many industrial applications.

At Mees van den Brink, you will find an extensive range of options in various diameters and designs. All hoses meet high quality standards and offer a durable solution for transferring aggressive and industrial liquids.

What is a composite hose?

A composite hose consists of multiple layers of polymer films and fabric materials, often reinforced with stainless-steel or galvanised steel wire. This construction provides high tensile strength and abrasion resistance while keeping the hose flexible. The film layers are selected according to the medium being transported, ensuring resistance to specific chemicals.

Composite hoses are widely used in the chemical and petrochemical industries, as well as in transport and shipping. They offer a safe and efficient way to transfer liquids without risk of leakage or contamination.

Advantages 

Composite hoses combine flexibility with high chemical resistance, making them ideal for transporting a variety of liquids. Below are the main advantages of a composite hose:

• Resistant to a wide range of chemicals, oils and fuels.
• Lightweight and flexible compared to conventional rubber hoses.
• Reinforced with steel for extra durability and tensile strength.
• Suitable for various industrial and marine applications.
• Available in different diameters and lengths. 

Applications

Composite hoses are used in various industries where safe and efficient fluid transport is required. Applications include:

• Chemical industry: transport of solvents, acids and other chemicals
• Petrochemical industry: suitable for oil, fuels and lubricants
• Shipping and transport: safe transfer of liquids on board and in ports
• Industry: handling of industrial liquids and waste products 

Maintenance and service life

To extend the life of a composite hose, regular maintenance is important. Periodically check the hose for wear, tears and leaks. Make sure the couplings are tight and that the hose is stored properly when not in use. A well-maintained hose will last longer and remain safe to use.
