Features

• SUPERTUFF is a special cover for hydraulic hoses, which dramatically increases resistance to environmental and severe application damage.
• A standard hose in the Australian Mines, this hose is also the best solution available for pressure washer users who don’t get the life they need from a standard hose.
• Heavy-duty performance with a non-marking and lightweight cover makes the extra cost a valid option.
• Join with your normal hose for use in high wear points
• Excellent abrasion resistance (500 times higher than standard hoses)
• No need for any protective sleeve in applications requiring high abrasion resistance
• UV and ozone resistance (hose ageing reduction)

Applications

•  Mining and earth-moving machines (SUPERTUFF is abrasion resistant)
•  Machinery for forestry (SUPERTUFF is resistant to impact-caused damage)
•  Offshore applications (SUPERTUFF is ozone and UV resistant)
•  Underwater applications (SUPERTUFF is water resistant and non-absorbing)
•  Machinery for chemical plants (SUPERTUFF is resistant to most of chemical agents)

Why pay more? Standard cover vs Supertuff

• Abrasion resistance
  • Tests according to EN-ISO 6945 norms (weight 50+/-5N) state that the maximum allowed loss of weight is 0.5g:
    • Standard cover: 0.15g after 2000 cycles
    • SUPERTUFF cover: 0.0g after 1.000.000 cycles
• Oil swell
  • In IRM 903 oil according to SAE norm (70h at 100°C), max 100%:
    • Standard cover: 73%
    • SUPERTUFF cover: 18.2%
  • In IRM 903 oil according to DIN norm (168h at 100°C), max 100%:
    • Standard cover: 60%
    • SUPERTUFF cover: 9%
• Ozone resistance
  • According to EN 27326 norm (50, 40°C), min 72h without cracks:
    • Standard cover: 96h (maximum limit reached without cracks)
    • SUPERTUFF cover: >800h (with no cracks)
  • Ozone resistance after 96h at 40°C, with different ozone concentration:
    • Standard cover: 50pphm (maximum limit reached without cracks
    • SUPERTUFF cover: >200pphm (with no cracks)
• Flame resistance
  • SUPERTUFF cover is MSHA (US MSHA 152/7) approved for flame resistance.
• UV rays and chemicals
  • SUPERTUFF cover is resistant to UV, animal fats, acids, and any other environmental stress.
