Plastic Hoses
Plastic hoses are flexible or rigid lines for the safe transport of compressed air, gases, liquids, powders or granulates in automation, laboratory technology and mechanical engineering. As a German manufacturer, eba pneumatic produces a comprehensive range of precision hoses made of high-quality thermoplastics, precisely matched to your pressure, temperature and media requirements.

Common materials and properties at a glance
Our portfolio covers all common materials: polyamide (PA 12 PHL, PA 12 HL, PA-SFL) impresses with high dimensional stability, pressure resistance and a wide temperature range from -60 °C to +100 °C for hydraulics, compressed-air brakes to DIN 73378 and lubrication lines. Polyurethane (PUR, Polyether-PUR, PUR-L) stands out for its extremely high abrasion resistance, flexibility and cold resistance, making it ideal for robotics and pneumatics as well as, in food-grade versions, for the pharmaceutical and medical technology sectors. For simple control lines in instrumentation and control engineering, hoses made of polyethylene (LD-PE) offer a lightweight and chemically resistant solution against acids, alkalis and salt solutions, while space-saving composite and multi-line hoses (DUO, TRIO, QUADRO) simplify parallel line routing.

Frequently asked questions about plastic hoses
Which plastic hose is suitable for which application?
The choice of the right plastic hose depends primarily on the medium to be transported, the prevailing operating pressure, the temperature conditions and the required bending radius. While highly flexible PUR hoses are the preferred choice for dynamic pneumatic and automation applications, pressure-resistant and dimensionally stable PA 12 tubes are used above all at high pressures and elevated temperatures. For conveying aggressive media such as acids or alkalis, chemically resistant LD-PE hoses are the obvious choice, whereas hydrolysis-resistant and food-grade materials such as PUR-L are selected where strict hygiene requirements apply in the food or pharmaceutical industry.
How does polyamide (PA) differ from polyurethane (PUR)?
Polyamide is a considerably stiffer and more dimensionally stable material, characterised by a high load capacity at operating pressure and a temperature resistance of up to +100 °C. Polyurethane, by contrast, has exceptionally high elasticity, kink resistance and abrasion resistance with excellent recovery, which makes PUR hoses the ideal solution for tight bending radii, robotics and continuously moving lines.
Are eba pneumatic plastic hoses UV- and weather-resistant?
Thanks to their specific material composition, many of our plastic hoses offer very good resistance to weathering and ageing, in particular our plasticiser-free PA-SFL versions. For permanent outdoor use in direct sunlight, we generally recommend black or dark-coloured hoses, as the carbon black or colour pigments they contain provide effective protection against UV radiation.
Does eba pneumatic also offer custom versions or printing?
As a manufacturer with our own extrusion in Germany, we produce plastic hoses flexibly to individual customer requirements from defined minimum quantities. We realise special dimensions, special colours, cut lengths and customer-specific printing with type designations, logo or DIN markings exactly to your specifications.
