Floor Care Applications of Industrial Hoses

Using hoses and tools designed with industrial applications in mind is the best way to effectively clean industrial environments. Flexaust offers industrial-grade products with the chemical, abrasion, and tear resistance you need for reliable floor care, no matter the surface or debris type. To reduce both the amount of time you spend on cleaning and equipment maintenance as well as the associated costs, we manufacture an extensive product line of commercial and industrial floor care hoses for applications/equipment including:

Industrial & Commercial Floor Care Application Materials

A variety of materials are used  for fabricating reliable, high-performance industrial and commercial hoses. Depending upon the needs of your application, Flexaust can utilize:

  • Polyethylene (PE). PE is a versatile option for industrial hose applications because of its light weight, chemical resistance, and simple maintenance for upkeep and cleaning.
  • Polyvinyl chloride (PVC). While PVC lacks the level of abrasion resistance found in PE, it is an affordable material that offers good flexibility.
  • Thermoplastic rubber (TPR). As a thermoplastic material, this chemical- and tear-resistant rubber performs well and retains optimal flexibility in high and low temperatures. It’s capable of withstanding hotter temperatures than PE or PVC.
  • Polyurethane (PUR). This material has superior resistance capabilities, excelling in industrial applications that must withstand significant abrasion. Polyurethane is also resistant to chemicals, punctures, and tears.
  • Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). This engineering thermoplastic is an economical material choice with good machinability for simple fabrication. Its stiffness makes its high impact strength possible, and it forms and performs well at both high and low temperatures.


Of these, PE, PVC, and thermoplastic rubber are the most common materials we use in our floor care hoses.

Industrial Hose Accessories for Floor Care

The accessories for industrial hoses vary greatly, despite the similarities between the hoses themselves. Each connector, adapter, and cuff is unique in its dimensions and design, and you’ll need to choose the accessories that fit your particular equipment and application to successfully join components and make a functioning system. This streamlines industrial and commercial cleaning operations while offering greater versatility in floor care techniques.
