Novaflex Extruded Thermo-Plastic Urethane (TPU) Vacuum Hose
Richmond Hill, ON - The Novaflex Group is proud to announce the availability of a new TPU VAC Hose specifically designed for material handling of abrasive media under vacuum. The TPU VAC Hose is a lightweight, flexible alternative to heavy-walled PVC and offers excellent abrasion resistance.
