Introduction
The mandrel-built chemical hose is designed for use with automated and manual cleaning systems in industrial tanks, vessels, and tankers. The hose is made from durable materials, such as EPDM rubber, to withstand high temperatures, chemical exposure, and mechanical stress. The primary function is to transport corrosive chemicals, such as acids, aromatic solvents, chlorinated, or aromatic hydrocarbons. Also, with a hose saddle to hold the machine in position within the tank during tank cleaning operations.

Application
Chemical hoses are widely used in:
• Fixed and portable tank cleaning.
• Petroleum/crude oil and chemical tankers for removing sludge, residues, and contaminants.
• Bulk carriers and offshore installations.
• Marine vessels and inland barges for routine maintenance and safety compliance.
• Food and beverage processing tanks for hygienic cleaning during CIP (Clean-in-Place) operations.
• Pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries where sterile environments are critical.

Benefits
• Chemical and temperature resistance, especially with EPDM.
• Compliance with industry standards, such as ISGOTT, for oil tankers.
• Versatility for use with hot water, steam, or chemical additives.
• Applicable for animal or vegetable produce and alcoholic drinks.
• Electrical continuity via embedded bonding wires for safety in hazardous environments.

Accessories
The hose comes with a wide range of accessories:
• Adapters
• Hydrant connections
