Hose reinforcement wire enables high pressure hydraulic hose manufacturers to produce braided and spiral wrapped hoses that meet the highest performance and quality standards.
Solutions are available for both rubber and thermoplastic hoses, from the tiniest ¼” hose up to the very heavy duty 3” spiral hose.
Besides the standard brass coated steel wires from 0.15 up to 0.90 mm with tensile strengths up to 3500 N/mm2, Bekaert also supplies brass coated stainless steel wires.
Based on future market needs, Bekaert constantly develops new products as higher tensile strength wires, larger diameter wires and solutions to improve hose impulse life, increase hose flexibility and increase adhesion performance.
