Abstract: A reinforced flexible hose for transporting fluids includes a first load-bearing layer made of a first polymeric material, a second covering layer arranged externally to the first load-bearing layer made of a second polymeric material, and a reinforcement layer interposed between the first and the second layers made of a third polymeric material. The first and the second polymeric materials are thermoplastic elastomers, the third polymeric material being a thermoplastic polymeric material. The first, second and third polymeric materials are mutually compatible, so that the flexible hose can be ground without separation between the first, the second, and the reinforcement layer to obtain a ground mixture consisting of the first, the second and the third polymeric materials.

Abstract: A flat flexible hose for transporting a fluid, for example water, is adapted to move between an inoperative position having a flattened configuration and an operative position, in which the hose expands radially under pressure from the fluid. The hose has a first inner layer defining an axis, a second covering layer, and a reinforcement textile layer therebetween. The first and second layers are made of a first and respectively a second thermoplastic elastomeric material adapted to adhere to each other. The reinforcement textile layer is made of rigid textile yarns which at least partially have a respective first and second predetermined inclination opposite to each other so that the length of the hose remains unchanged both in the inoperative and the operative positions. The reinforcement textile layer is a knitted layer with tricot chain stitches with rows of stitches and courses of stitches made of chain stitches.

Abstract: A flexible or spiraled hose manufactured from a plasticized thermoplastic PVC compound, which includes: (A) 100 phr of a PVC matrix in suspension having a K factor measured according to DIN EN ISO 1628-2 greater than or equal to 98? (B) from 100 phr to 250 phr of a plasticizer agent; (C) from 0.5 phr to 5 phr of a stabilizer agent; (D) from 0.1 to 10 phr of a co-stabiliser agent, (E) from 0 to 10 phr of an additive. The plasticized thermoplastic PVC compound has a Shore A hardness measured according to UNI EN ISO 868 between 30 Sh A and 60 Sh A, preferably between 30 Sh A and 50 Sh A.

Abstract: A flexible hose for transporting a fluid, particularly a flexible garden hose for transporting water, includes an inner layer made of a first elastic polymeric material; an outer layer made of a second elastic polymeric material; and a textile reinforcement layer interposed therebetween. The inner and outer layers are reciprocally coupled to form a unitary tubular member, internally to which the textile reinforcement layer is embedded. The elasticity of the unitary tubular member causes it to automatically enlarge under the working pressure given by the liquid flowing therethrough to increase its original diameter and to automatically recover to assume again its original diameter once the working pressure stops. The textile reinforcement layer is susceptible to move from a rest configuration, when there is no working pressure, to a working configuration, when the unitary tubular member enlarges upon under the working pressure.

Abstract: An ultra-lightweight reinforced flexible hose for transporting fluids, in particular a flexible garden hose for transporting water, includes an inner tubular layer made of a first elastomeric or thermoplastic elastomer material; an outer cover layer made of a second elastomeric or thermoplastic elastomer material; and a reinforcement layer interposed between the inner layer and the outer layer.

Abstract: A flexible hose for transporting a fluid, particularly a flexible garden hose for transporting water, includes an outer sheath and an inner tube. The inner tube has an inner layer made of a first elastic polymeric material and an outer layer made of a second elastic polymeric material with a textile reinforcement layer embedded within the inner tube to form a unitary tubular member. The elasticity of the unitary tubular member is such that it automatically elongates under the working pressure provided by a liquid flowing therethrough and automatically recovers its original length when the working pressure stops. The textile reinforcement layer is adapted to move from a rest configuration when there is no working pressure, to a working configuration when the unitary tubular member elongates under the working pressure.
