Lessons need to be learnt from the tragic Brazil Museum fire, and great importance should be attached to firefighting to prevent a similar tragedy from occurring in the future.
The quality of the fire hose, an essential part of the fire-fighting equipment, is directly associated with the final result. High-quality hoses are composed of three layers, the outer layer of polyester filament, the middle layer of TPU adhesive and the inner layer of polyether TPU liner. In addition to its excellent strength and toughness, TPU can also significantly reduce the weight of the hose, which makes it easy to fold and unfold and reduces the labor intensity for the firemen.
Wanhua Chemical introduces TPU adhesive and polyether TPU product for the firefighting industry.
Adhesive for fire hose
- High adhesive strength and excellent heat resistance
- Fast crystallization rate and short processing time
- Multiple processing methods, accessible to melt or dissolve processing.
Polyether TPU for the fire hose liner
- Excellent hydrolytic stability, low temperature flexibility, fungus resistance, good environmental adaptability and long life cycle.
- High strength, high elasticity and low abrasion enable the long-distance, high-pressure and high-flow water delivery, meanwhile ensuring the mechanical strength and safety performance of the hose.
- Excellent processability and extrusion stability make the wall thickness uniform and the wall smooth without showing adhesion, thus meeting the fire hose’s requirement for processing technology.
Wanhua Chemical is committed to improving the quality of the fire-fighting equipment, enhancing the fighting capacity of the fire fighters, and thus contributing to the success of each rescue.
