EPDM Hoses
EPDM, is a synthetic rubber, that can be used for a wide range of applications as it is an extremely cost effective hose and is particularly suited for medium to large volume batch runs.

Unique Properties of EPDM
EPDM has outstanding resistance to heat, ozone and weather damage, its temperature rating can be increased to 150°C by moving from Sulphur to Peroxide curing formulations. This combined with its good resistance to steam and polar substances means that it has a long service life. EPDM is suitable for all Water Glycol solutions and the unique compounding of the polymer means it has exceptional resistance to electrochemical degradation where other elastomers start to brake down.
Enhanced Strength through Modern and Traditional Reinforcement
To enhance performance, if the hose is required to work under negative pressure, either integral polyester can reinforce it or aramid braided yarn to give greater burst strength and still maintain high flexibility. For hoses subjected an even greater amount of negative pressure a high tensile steel wire helix can be inserted inside the hose to prevent the hose from collapsing under pressure.
Working Temperature: -40°C - 120°C (can be formulated up to 150°C)
For applications where high flexibility is necessary, Corrugated EPDM is a potential option.
Standard Bore Sizes: 8mm to 100mm
Most standard sizes available from stock in 90° elbows or straight lengths. We are also able to offer shaped hoses, reducing hoses, multiple bends, vented hoses and/ or convolution hoses
Typical Specification SAE J20 Class D1
Standard Bore Sizes: 50mm to 152mm
EPDM is suitable for air intake hoses where high temperatures are not involved.
Most standard sizes available from stock in 90° elbows or straight lengths. For Unique applications we can work with your design team to supply a bespoke hose to meet your connection requirements.
Corrugated EPDM hoses with cuffed ends are ideal for applications where hose movement and flexibility are required.
Working Temperature: -30°C – 135°C
AdBlue Dispensing Equipment & Filler Hose Applications
EPDM hoses are recognised as the optimum solution for transporting AdBlue fluid. The flexible hoses can be cut to the required length and easily clipped. The hoses are available in a large range of diameters (25mm to 100mm) and can be flexed to the required shape for varying connection points or avoiding potential tooling costs.
