Fire fighting Equipment

Uncoated single jacket fire hose / Titan

Applications

• industrial and municipal fire brigades
• military
• marine fire fighting
• interior rack and reel hose
• commercial and civil engineering

Features

• very lightweight and highly flexible (even at low temperature)
• small coil diameter
• excellent resistance to weathering and ozone
• inner lining excellent resistant to sea water and a wide range of chemicals
• mildew and rot proof
• easy to repair

Construction

Jacket:

• high tenacity multifilament polyester yarn, circular woven in twill weave
• 2F: 2-ply warp threads
• 3F: 3-ply warp threads, heavy duty construction for better abrasion resistance

Lining:

• high grade EPDM rubber, cold flexible, suitable also for hot water
• excellent resistance to sea water, a wide range of chemicals, UV and ozone
• coextruded CR rubber adhesive layer, penetrates during vulcanisation completely into the weaving structure
• this style of rubber lining guarantees a smooth inner tube with low friction loss and an excellent adhesion between lining and jacket

Speial Options

• Single lengths longer than 30 m (100 ft), 25 – 75 mm up to 1,000 m (3,300 ft), 90 – 110 mm up to 500 m (1,650 ft)
• other dimensions

Note: special options are subject to a higher price and a minimum order of 1,000 m (3,300 ft) per dimension. Production short lengths and over or short production up to 10 % of the total order quantity.

Rubber covered fire hose/ Progress

Applications

• Refineries
• Chemical industry
• Military
• Fire brigades
• Marine & offshore installations
• fire hose for usage under tough conditions

Features

• Tough, durable & very abrasion resistant
• Resistance to oil, fuel & wide range of chemicals.
• Resistance to heat, UV & Ozone
• very low friction loss and low elongation
• Excellent adhesion between rubber & textile
• No cleaning & dry required
• Easy to repair

Construction

Textile reinforcement:

• warp: high tenacity polyester weft: polyamide; circular woven
• the special weaving design offers a superior adhesion level and flow performance compared to an all polyester weave
• totally embedded in the rubber compound, excellent protected against mechanical damage

Lining and cover:

• special high grade formulated NBR / PVC compound extruded ”through the weave“ in a unique one step production process
• special additives in the compound guarantee superior UV and ageing resistance
• inside: very smooth for minimum friction loss
• outside: ribbed for good abrasion resistance and protection against contact heat

Speial Options

• coating of cover pinholes PROGRESS LATEX (avoids penetration of harmful liquids into the textile reinforcement)
• lengths up to 200 m (660 ft)
• colour according to customer specification
• cold flexible version PROGRESS POLAR down to -30°C (-22°F)
