Plastic hoses represent advanced composite materials, ranking as the fourth most important material group after steel, wood, and cement. These innovative products have evolved significantly, with eco-friendly versions now revolutionizing traditional hose applications. Their superior performance in water supply, drainage, and gas systems comes from key advantages: minimal water loss, operational simplicity, energy efficiency, and environmental benefits. These qualities make plastic hoses the preferred choice for modern urban pipeline networks.
Primary Plastic Hose Categories
Most commonly encountered plastic hoses fall into five major types:
PE (Polyethylene) – Popular for irrigation systems and agricultural layflat hoses
PP (Polypropylene) – Known for chemical resistance
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) – Offers impact strength
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) – Versatile for household and industrial use
PS (Polystyrene) – Used in specialty applications
Specialty Plastic Hoses
High-performance materials like PPS, PPO, PA, PC, and POM serve specialized sectors including:
Automotive manufacturing
Aerospace engineering
Advanced defense systems
Common Applications
PVC Hoses dominate both residential and industrial settings:
Household uses: Shower hoses, water lines, wire protection
Industrial applications: Suction systems, compressed air delivery
PE Hoses excel in agricultural environments, particularly for irrigation systems using pipes and layflat hoses.
