UHMWPE Hose Manufacturer in India — Suction & Discharge for Chemical & Food Grade Transfer
Heavy-duty UHMWPE hose engineered for suction and discharge of chemicals, solvents, acids, alkalis, and corrosive fluids. UHMWPE translucent lining, helical steel wire reinforcement, blue EPDM cover — manufactured in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan and supplied to industrial buyers across India and GCC markets.
What Is UHMWPE Hose?
UHMWPE hose is a heavy-duty suction and discharge hose used to safely transfer aggressive chemicals, solvents, acids, alkalis, and corrosive process fluids. The Flexihose brochure lists this range as UHMWPE Chemical & Food Grade Suction & Discharge Hose — designed for industrial transfer duty where broad chemical resistance, flexible handling, and suction stability are critical.
The Flexihose UHMWPE hose construction uses a smooth white synthetic rubber with UHMWPE translucent lining, high tensile synthetic plies with helical steel wire, and a blue EPDM outer cover resistant to chemical products, ozone, weather, and abrasion. Brochure data covers 3/4″ to 4″ nominal bore, 240 psi / 16 bar working pressure, 720 psi / 48 bar minimum burst pressure, and a -20°C to +120°C service range.
Flexihose India manufactures UHMWPE hose at our ISO 9001:2015 certified plant in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan. For chemical processors, pharma plants, tank farms, food ingredient lines, EPC contractors, and export buyers, we supply factory-direct with technical selection support, test documentation, and India-wide dispatch.
Common UHMWPE Hose Supply Configurations
The same core Flexihose construction is supplied across multiple bore sizes depending on transfer volume, suction requirement, and plant layout.
Ideal for chemical dosing skids, plant process connections, solvent circulation loops, and compact transfer stations where flexible routing matters.
Used for routine suction and discharge of acids, alkalis, process chemicals, and corrosive liquids in production, storage, and utility lines.
Suited to tanker unloading, drum-to-tank transfer, and bulk handling points where higher flow and reliable suction stability are required.
For high-volume loading, unloading, and plant-to-storage movement of corrosive fluids where pressure stability and handling durability matter.

How to Choose the Right UHMWPE Hose — Selection Guide
A practical step-by-step guide for procurement teams, plant engineers, and chemical process buyers selecting UHMWPE hose for their application.
Confirm the Exact Chemical Media
Share the chemical name, concentration, and whether the duty involves acids, alkalis, solvents, or mixed corrosive fluids. UHMWPE hose is chosen for wide chemical resistance, but media-level selection should always start with exact fluid details.
Identify Suction or Discharge Duty
If the hose must pull fluid from tanks, drums, IBCs, or underground storage, suction stability matters. This brochure construction includes helical steel wire, making it suitable for both suction and discharge applications.
Check Temperature Range
The brochure service range is -20°C to +120°C. For chemical systems with heat tracing, hot CIP-style utility fluids, or elevated process temperatures, always confirm the actual operating temperature rather than the ambient plant temperature.
Select Bore Size by Flow Rate
3/4″–1″ sizes suit process skids and controlled transfer points. 1-1/4″–2″ are common for plant transfer. 2-1/2″–4″ sizes are typically used for tanker unloading, storage transfer, and higher-volume plant utility movement.
Review Pressure Margin
Flexihose brochure data lists 16 bar maximum working pressure and 48 bar minimum burst pressure. If your system has pulsation, surge, vacuum loading, or frequent line movement, share those details so the hose assembly can be specified more safely.
Send the Full RFQ Details
For faster quoting, send hose size, required length, chemical media, concentration, working temperature, suction/discharge duty, quantity, delivery city, and whether you need documentation for export, audit, or tender submission.
UHMWPE Hose Construction & Materials
The layer-by-layer construction of Flexihose UHMWPE hose — what each component does and why it matters for chemical transfer duty.
UHMWPE Lining
The brochure calls out a smooth white synthetic rubber construction with UHMWPE translucent lining. UHMWPE is selected where broader resistance to aggressive chemicals and lower-friction transfer characteristics are required.
Helix-Reinforced Body
High tensile synthetic plies with helical steel wire give the hose its combined suction and discharge capability. This helps resist collapse under vacuum while maintaining flexibility for plant transfer layouts and unloading operations.
Blue EPDM Cover
The outer cover is specified as a blue EPDM rubber compound resistant to chemical products, ozone, weather, and abrasion, with wrap finish. This supports outdoor and industrial environments where splash, drag, and surface wear are common.
Pressure & Dimensional Reliability
Brochure data lists a consistent 16 bar working pressure and 48 bar minimum burst pressure across the range. Combined with in-house testing capability at Bhiwadi, this makes the range suitable for technically reviewed industrial RFQs.

UHMWPE Hose vs Other Chemical Hose Linings — Which to Choose?
Buyers often compare UHMWPE hose with PTFE, EPDM, and PVC-lined hoses. Here is a practical comparison to help with selection.
| Lining Material | Chemical Resistance | Temperature Range | Suction Capability | Typical Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UHMWPE (Flexihose) | Broad — acids, alkalis, solvents, dyes | -20°C to +120°C | Yes — helical steel wire | Chemical plants, tanker unloading, dye/pharma transfer |
| PTFE | Very broad — near-universal | -60°C to +200°C | Limited (corrugated bore) | High-temp, ultra-aggressive media, small bore process lines |
| EPDM | Good for water, steam, dilute acids/alkalis | -40°C to +150°C | Depends on construction | Water, steam, mild chemical service |
| PVC / Nitrile | Limited — not suitable for strong acids/solvents | 0°C to +60°C | Depends on construction | Light-duty water, compressed air, mild fluids |
UHMWPE is the preferred choice when you need broad chemical resistance, suction capability, and a flexible hose that can handle tanker-to-tank or drum-to-process transfer duty. For ultra-high temperatures or extremely aggressive oxidising media, PTFE may be more appropriate — contact us to discuss.
