"Expert" rubber hoses

Your hose application - our "Expert"

Hoses are flexible connecting elements for lines conveying liquids, gases, suspensions or for generating vacuum. In the immuG Expert series we present various approved hose designs for a wide range of applications.

The matrix shows the application focus distinguished by operation mode (pressure / suction) and kind of wear (corrosive, abrasive, other).

Typical applications for rubber hoses and the matching immuG hose constructions are presented in the glossary .

The old-established hose names AWEG and Allerit we replace by the Expert line successively in order to connect our approved hose designs with application fields explicitly.

Our rubber compounds

Rubber hoses are always used when the chemical and physical properties of the material to be conveyed require corrosion and abrasion resistant inner layers. For this so-called core, we use rubber qualities that are optimized for the application.

We often use rubber compounds with the following types of rubber:

Type of rubber Shortcut General properties Temperature Used as
chloroprene rubber CR Very good UV, ozone and weather resistance,
flame retardant
80°C cover
ethylene propylene
diene monomer rubber
EPDM Very good ozone and weather resistance,
good resistance to steam and many chemicals.
Not oil resistant.
100°C
(aqueous media)
inner bore, cover
nitrile butadiene rubber NBR Very good oil and fuel resistance.
Not ozone and weather resistant.
80°C
(aqueous media)
inner bore
natural rubber,
styrene-butadiene rubber
NR - SBR High elasticity, very abrasion-resistant,
conditionally oil-resistant, not weather-resistant
80°C
(aqueous media)
inner bore, cover
