How to Choose the Right Chemical Rubber Hose for Your Application | Symboflex Guide
Chemical transfers can be dangerous if the hose is not up to the task. Leaks, corrosion, or hose failure can cause safety hazards and business loss. That’s why selecting a chemical rubber hose with the right resistance, flexibility, and durability is critical.
At Symboflex, we help industrial users worldwide choose the right chemical transfer hose for acids, alkalis, solvents, and more.
Common Problems with Low-Quality Chemical Hoses
Corrosion or swelling after short-term use
Hose cracking due to poor UV or chemical resistance
Low pressure tolerance leading to bursts
Lack of certification (e.g., REACH, ISO)
If you’ve faced any of these issues, it’s time to look for a high-performance solution.
What Makes a Reliable Chemical Hose?
A good chemical resistant rubber hose should offer:
✅ Resistance to a wide range of acids and bases
✅ High tensile strength and flexibility
✅ Long service life even under continuous chemical exposure
✅ Safe, leak-proof connections
At Symboflex, our acid and alkali resistant hoses are made with EPDM, UHMWPE, or nitrile rubber, depending on your specific fluid media.
Matching Hose to Chemical Type
Here’s a simple guide:
Chemical Type—Recommended Hose Material
Strong acids (HCl, H₂SO₄) —UHMWPE-lined rubber hose
Alkalis (NaOH, KOH) —EPDM chemical hose
Organic solvents —NBR or cross-linked rubber
General use / diluted acids —EPDM or blended rubber hose
Symboflex provides expert guidance to help you choose the best chemical hose for industrial use.
