DURA-COTE™ TREATMENT – WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED.

Exclusive Dura-Cote™ hose treatment creates a virtually impenetrable shield that increases hose performance and durability, while extending service life.

Protective Dura-Cote™ provides superior abrasion, heat and chemical resistance, far surpassing the minimal standards of MIL-H-24606B. Compared to competitive coatings made of nitrile/latex or acrylic, Advanced Acrylic Urethane Hybrid has remarkably better flexibility and ultra-low temperature maneuverability.

  • Five times (5X) greater flame resistance vs. untreated hose
  • Resistant to solvents, oil and other hydrocarbons
  • Excellent water pick-up resistance
