ASTRON
is a
superlight non-percolating hose constructed to comply with AS2792 but
having substantial emphasis on light weight, flexibility, ease of handling
and low cost without reducing operating pressures. ASTRON
has a circular woven jacket of 100% Polyester yarn which is unaffected by mildew
and retains its full strength when wet or dry. ASTRON
is lined with a lightweight extrusion of synthetic compound especially
formulated as a rubber substitute and is ideally suited for use as a fire hose
lining, being exceptionally flexible and resistant to aging and the effects of
weathering.
It is unaffected by Ozone attack. ASTRON
can be coated with a Duracoat coating to increase abrasion resistance. Duracoat
is provided by a process which uses a synthetic polymer to encapsulate every
fibre of the hose jacket.
The polymer is then heat fused and so becomes a permanent and integral
part of the hose jacket.
Coloured pigments may be added to the polymer permitting hoses of various
identifying colours to be specified and providing a permanent colour coding for
the full life of the hose.Duracoat significantly extends the life of fire hose
by increasing its resistance to damage caused by abrasion and contact with most
common chemicals.When tested for abrasion resistance in accordance with
Australian Standard 2792, hose with Duracoat will withstand 50%-70% more double
strokes than the same hose without the advantage of duracoat, depending on the
type and diameter of the hose tested RECOMMENDED
FOR: Astron is ideally suited to industrial fire brigades and all water transfer applications
