A PU Light Duty Hose Pipe refers to a Polyurethane (PU) hose designed for light-duty applications. Here's a breakdown to help you understand what it is and where it's typically used:
What is a PU Light Duty Hose Pipe?
PU (Polyurethane) hose pipes are flexible, abrasion-resistant tubes made from thermoplastic polyurethane. When labeled as "light duty," it means the hose is intended for non-heavy industrial usetypically lower pressures, lighter materials, and less aggressive environments.
Common Features:
-
Material: Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU)
-
Lightweight and flexible
-
Good abrasion and tear resistance
-
High transparency (optional)
-
Good chemical resistance
-
Wide temperature range (-40C to +90C typically)
-
Kink-resistant
-
Often reinforced with a steel or plastic spiral in coiled versions
Common Applications:
-
Air and pneumatic tools
-
Dust or fume extraction
-
Conveying lightweight solids (powders, grains)
-
Ventilation in HVAC systems
-
Woodworking dust collection
-
Light-duty suction and delivery of liquids
