Unigasket stands out as a top supplier of both smooth bore and convoluted PTFE hoses. Engineered to meet stringent requirements, Unigasket’s hose selection excels in several demanding fields:
Chemical
The chemical industry is notably challenging, demanding products that can withstand harsh conditions while delivering high performance. Unigasket provides hoses designed to handle the diverse fluids prevalent in this sector—such as solvents, vapors, and corrosive liquids—while offering excellent pressure resistance and flexibility. Because electrostatic conductivity is increasingly crucial, Unigasket also produces hoses with specialized conductive sub-layers that comply with ATEX standards.
Pharmaceutical
For pharmaceutical applications, Unigasket manufactures tubes in an ISO 7 clean room environment utilizing advanced raw materials like PTFE, FEP, PFA, PVDF, and Silicone. These hoses are rigorously validated and tested according to US Pharmacopoeia Class VI, ISO 10993, European Pharmacopoeia, NSF, 3A, and FDA standards, making them ideal for the biopharmaceutical industry.
Food
Hoses intended for food use must be neutral in taste and odour, phthalate-free, resistant to transported liquids and cleaning agents, and compliant with strict hygiene regulations. Unigasket offers a comprehensive line of certified hoses—made from PTFE, FEP, PFA, and specialized silicone blends—that fully meet these sector-specific demands.
Hydraulics
Hydraulic hoses are used to transfer force via hydraulic fluids. Depending on application needs, substrates may include PTFE, thermoplastic polymers, or elastomers. To address varying pressure and stress requirements, hoses are reinforced with steel wire braids or high-strength textile fibres. These tubes are engineered for low weight and compact size, superior resistance to fatigue, bending, and vibration, minimal pressure loss, and exceptional durability—key factors for hydraulic operations.
Thanks to significant industrial investments, ZEC has become a leading global company in its industry. The company offers a wide selection of thermoplastic tubes—linear, single, multiple, and spiral, either standard or custom-made—with technical specifications that include inside diameters from 2 to 40 mm, working pressures between 5 and 1280 bar, and extreme temperature tolerances ranging from -200°C to +260°C, depending on the model.
ZEC’s certified production processes ensure several technical benefits for their thermoplastic hoses:
- Lightweight and compact designs, achieved by using tough raw materials with low specific weight
- Superior resistance to fatigue stress, repeated bending, and vibrations
- Exceptionally smooth internal surfaces, providing higher flow rates for the same diameter
- Long-lasting durability and strong anti-ageing properties
Additionally, ZEC hoses comply with RoHS 2 directive (2011/65/EU), REACH regulation (2006/1907/EC), and the 2018/851/EU directive (SCIP database). All relevant documentation can be found on the ZEC website.
