Light, strong, highly flexible, anti-static and kink-proof. For chemicals, petroleum products, aviation fuel, food, LNG and LPG — from −200 to +200 °C.
COMPOTEC is the composite hose division of the Italian Matec Group. Composite hoses meet transfer needs in the chemical and petrochemical industries, services and transport — where conventional rubber and PVC hoses can be unsafe because of aggressive substances, a wide temperature range or pressure conditions.
Construction: a multi-layer package of thermoplastic films and fabrics tensioned between internal and external wire helices. The liner is polypropylene or PTFE, resistant to solvents, chemicals, acids, resins and petroleum products. Pressure 10 and 15 bar, up to 40 bar for special types.
Multi-layer hose of polypropylene, polyethylene and polyester films and PP fabrics, with a weather- and abrasion-resistant PVC-coated polyester cover. 100% aromatic resistant, suction and discharge.
The chemical inertness of fluoropolymers makes COMPOTEC PTFE hoses ideal for highly hazardous chemicals — one universal hose instead of a range of different constructions. PTFE 300 HD is made with a liner of pure skived PTFE film or the patented NANOTEC film, with a seamless gas-tight FEP film. Fittings can be PTFE-lined or EPTAFLON BLUE coated.
For very aggressive chemicals: chlorine derivatives, hydrochloric, nitric and sulphuric acids. NANOTEC liner (100% DuPont Teflon, cross-laminated, zero porosity, up to 316 °C; Matec patent IT0281052); 1.4307 stainless steel inner wire in a thick-wall PVDF sheath.
The first composite hose without an inner wire — with a perfectly smooth fluoropolymer bore. Pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, viscous media (paints, adhesives), corrosive chemicals; rail car and trailer loading. FDA, phthalate-free; fits standard hose tails.
Fire-safe high-purity hose for aviation fuel — Jet A-1, JP-6, biojet, synthetic (SPK) and turbine fuel. EN 13765 type 3, BS 3492 — petrol, kerosene, oils, aviation fuel with high aromatic content up to 100 °C. The UHMW-PE bore prevents contamination; the stainless steel inner wire leaves no metal flakes in the product; no oils or lubricants are used in manufacture.
Fire-safe suction and discharge hose for −40…+100 °C. Compatible with bioethanol (up to E98), biodiesel (up to B100, ASTM D6751), petrol and diesel; the liner is 100% resistant to aromatics and MTBE. BIOTEC 85 — ethanol blends; BIOTEC 100 — neat biodiesel (FAME).
The lightest composite hose on the market. Loading and unloading of road and rail tankers, storage tanks, forecourt deliveries: petrol, diesel, kerosene, biodiesel, aviation fuel. The outer wire is sheathed in black polymer — the hose is non-metallic on the outside, spark-free and does not scratch the tank truck body.
For high-temperature hydrocarbons. Several fluoropolymer layers (NANOTEC film), stainless steel inner wire. FIRETEC GLASS, PIROJACKET, TWINHOSE versions.
| Ø, mm | Ø, inch | WP at 4:1 safety factor | WP at 5:1 safety factor |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20–200 | ¾"–8" | 20 bar | 16 bar |
| 250–300 | 10"–12" | 20 bar | 16 bar |
A strong, low-elongation hose for loading arms, hose towers and tank truck bottom loading: acids and solvents (BLH CHEM), aggressive chemicals (BLH PTFE), petroleum products including petrol, diesel, oils, kerosene, MTBE and 100% aromatics (BLH OIL). Fewer connections than a loading arm — fewer leak points. ARAMEX reinforcement, fire-resistant FIRETEC version.
For cryogenic products down to −200 °C and pressures up to 25 bar. Multi-layer construction of polyimide and polyester films, FEP and Mylar, stainless steel wires; stays flexible at −200 °C and accommodates vessel movement during transfer better than loading arms.
| Type | Media | Temperature | WP (¾"–8") | Safety factor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CRYOTEC 661 N | LNG | −200…+80 °C | 25 bar (10" — 15, 12" — 10) | 5:1 |
| CRYOTEC 660 LG | LPG, EN 13766:2015 | −105…+100 °C | 16 bar (6"–10" — 13) | 8:1 |
FOOD 500 — UHMW-PE layers, 316L stainless steel wires, for direct food contact (FDA 177.1520, EU 10/2011, EC 1935/2004, phthalate-free). Edible oils (palm, coconut, sunflower, olive), chocolate, jam, alcohol, wine and spirits. Cleaning with steam or diluted caustic and nitric acid; DIN, SMS, RJT, Tri-Clamp sanitary fittings.
Polyurethane layers, martensitic high-chrome stainless steel inner wire. Abrasive liquids (industrial sludges) and solids (powders, cereals, plastic pellets, chips, sugar, flour); coal water slurry fuel. Tanker loading, storage tanks, silos.
For delivering sand, water and additives in fracking. Flexible even at sub-zero temperatures; PP liner, UHMW-PE and polyester barrier layers, abrasion-resistant ARAMEX cover. Ends: flanges, BSPT/NPT, hammer unions, Victaulic.
A complete system for draining rainwater from a tank’s floating roof: hose, connections, ballast and suspension. Minimal connections; copes even with frozen water. PP or PTFE liner, double helix against external pressure; tested at 14 bar and −1 bar vacuum; repeatable 360° coil lay pattern.
Hoses with a tighter bend radius at the same pressure and temperature — thanks to nanotechnology-based polymers. EXTRACHEM (chemicals), EXTRAOIL (hydrocarbons, MTBE, 100% aromatics), EXTRAFLON (PTFE or ECTFE); HD — type 3, SD — type 2; 1"–4".
Hose tails are scrolled to match the pitch of the hose’s inner wire; sealed with an elastomer lip seal and an externally swaged ferrule. All metal parts are electrically bonded.
Descriptions and specifications are given according to the manufacturers and may change. Please confirm parameters with our specialists before ordering.
A composite hose is lighter and more flexible, resists a wide range of chemicals and aromatics, operates from −200 to +200 °C, does not kink and is fully anti-static.
Type 1 — vapours and low pressure, type 2 — standard duty (tanker loading, in-plant lines), type 3 — heavy duty (ship and dockside operations), type 4 — high temperatures.
