- Thermoplastic hose is lighter than rubber hose (up to 40% less)
- Thermoplastic hose offers superior abrasion resistance (typically outlasts rubber by 10 times)
- Thermoplastic hoses are UV-stabilized and are more weather resistant than rubber hose.
- The o.d.’s on thermoplstic hose are smaller than the o.d.’s of rubber hose. This compact design allows for easier routing in tight spaces.
- Color coding is available with thermoplastic hose.
- Thermoplastic hose has a longer shelf life. It won’t degrade over time i.e. crack & pit.
- Thermoplastic tubes stay clean when cut during the assembly process; particles from rubber hoses can contaminate the tube when cut.
- Custom laylines are easier to do.
