Profile: Aflex Hose Ltd. specializes in PTFE hose technologies. We are an ISO 9001:2008 certified company. We obtain PTFE lined flexible hoses for the transfer of process fluids in pharmaceutical and chemical plants. Key features of our Bioflex PTFE hose are PTFE liner tube design, comprising integral rib sections which support the tube against kinking, and highly compressed web sections which give a smooth bore inner surface. Another feature is the integral PTFE lined and flared end fitting design which is available for all standard end fittings applied to Bioflex hose assemblies. This provides clean, full-bore flow through the end fitting without any restrictions or entrapment points, unlike conventional fittings which introduce a bore restriction. It also has an entrapment crevice at the inside end of the fitting tail. It achieves much higher flow rates in comparison with conventional fittings, reducing the time required to fill/empty vessels through the hose. Materials involved for its design work are natural or anti-static PTFE, stainless steel braid with or without an EPDM or silicone rubber cover, polypropylene, PVDF, and hastelloy braid.
