Dichloromethane (DCM) is a colorless, transparent liquid with a pungent odor. Under normal use conditions, it is a non-flammable, low-boiling solvent. At high temps, its vapor can generate a weakly burning mixed gas. Therefore, it is often used as a substitute for flammable solvents such as petroleum ether and ether.
Consider 4 factor to choose a chemical deliver hose as follow:
Corrosion resistance: Ensure that the hose can resist the corrosive effects of DCM.
Pressure resistance: Select a hose with good pressure resistance to prevent the hose from rupturing or leaking;
Temperature resistance: The selected hose material must be able to withstand temperature changes during transportation;
Flexibility: Ensure flexibility during installation and use.
Based on the above considerations, Orientflex recommends the following hoses
PTFE hose
PTFE has excellent corrosion, pressure and temperature resistance. It can resist the corrosive effects of a variety of chemicals. Besides, it can maintain stability under high temperature and high pressure.
Stainless steel metal hose
Stainless steel hose has good corrosion, pressure and temperature resistance. It can withstand high pressure and temp fluctuations.
Rubber hose
Chemical rubber hose has excellent corrosion, pressure and temperature resistance. And it can transport corrosive chemicals such as DCM.
Orientflex is a group company which focus on hose manufacture and export. Our chemical hose series can deal with 98% of the common used chemicals including DCM. If you need to deliver chemicals or solvents, Orientflex hose suits you best.
