Nylobrade is made from non-toxic ingredients selected from those sanctioned by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in food contact applications. Its NSF certification makes Nylobrade a good choice for drinking water applications, those involving water at temperatures up to 60°C (140°F), and food processing applications.

Nylobrade is generally unaffected by most oxidizing and reducing agents. Diluted acids and alkalies have little effect, though if highly concentrated tend to make the hose less pliable. If chemical resistance is in question, in-plant tests are suggested.

Gasoline and oils will harden PVC over periods of intermittent use. In these applications, continuous use will slow the hardening process.

Nylobrade HP (High Pressure) sizes 3/8” ID and up have a tighter braid pattern and therefore reduce the visual flow contact and increase the hose’s resistance to bending and flexing. Heavier walls on similar IDs will be more resistant to kinking.
