Inner Tube: This innermost layer is typically made from a high-quality, seamless thermoplastic material, such as nylon or polyester, chosen for its excellent chemical compatibility and resistance to the hydraulic fluid it contains.
Reinforcement: Instead of steel wire, the middle layer is a braid or spiral of synthetic fibers, such as polyester, aramid, or carbon fiber. This reinforcement provides the hose with its high pressure rating without adding significant weight or conductivity.
Outer Cover: The outermost layer is a durable thermoplastic material, often polyurethane or another engineered polymer. This cover protects the hose from external elements, including abrasion, UV radiation, ozone, and harsh weather conditions.
Lighter Weight and Flexibility: Thermoplastic hoses are significantly lighter than rubber hoses, making them easier to handle, transport, and install. Their superior flexibility allows for a tighter bend radius, enabling them to be routed in confined or complex spaces.
Superior Abrasion Resistance: The tough polyurethane or other thermoplastic outer covers are highly resistant to abrasion, cuts, and wear from environmental factors, extending the hose’s service life in demanding conditions.
Unlimited Shelf Life: Unlike rubber hoses that can degrade from UV exposure and ozone, thermoplastic hoses have an unlimited shelf life, preventing premature failure and reducing the risk of a “shelf-life” expiration.
Enhanced Chemical and Contamination Resistance: The inner tube is made of non-porous thermoplastic materials that are resistant to a wide variety of hydraulic fluids, including synthetics and solvents, ensuring system cleanliness and preventing fluid permeation.
Non-Conductive Properties: When reinforced with synthetic fibers instead of metal, these hoses provide excellent electrical insulation, which is a critical safety feature for aerial lifts and other equipment used near live electrical sources.

A thermoplastic hydraulic hose is a lightweight and flexible hose designed for hydraulic systems, made from synthetic polymers. Unlike traditional rubber hoses that use steel wire reinforcement, thermoplastic hoses are constructed with a non-metallic, synthetic fiber reinforcement (such as polyester or aramid) that provides high pressure ratings without adding significant weight.
This construction allows for a smaller outer diameter and a tighter bend radius, making them ideal for applications with limited space. Due to their material composition, these hoses also offer excellent resistance to abrasion, ozone, and many chemicals, and can be engineered to be non-conductive for electrical safety.
A thermoplastic hydraulic hose is a lightweight and flexible hose made from synthetic polymers and fibers instead of traditional rubber and steel. Its construction is designed for high performance while minimizing weight and allowing for a tight bend radius. This unique composition also provides superior resistance to abrasion and environmental factors.
Thermoplastic Hydraulic Hose Structure
Inner Tube: This core layer is typically made of a smooth, seamless thermoplastic material like nylon, polyester, or polyurethane, chosen for its compatibility with a wide range of hydraulic fluids.
Reinforcement: Instead of steel wire, this layer uses one or more braids of high-tensile strength synthetic fibers, such as polyester or aramid, which provide the hose’s pressure rating and flexibility.
Outer Cover: The outermost layer is made of a durable thermoplastic like polyurethane to protect the hose from external damage, including abrasion, UV rays, and chemicals.
A thermoplastic hydraulic hose is a lightweight and highly versatile component used in a wide range of industries where the demands of the application go beyond what traditional rubber hoses can provide. Its unique construction with a thermoplastic inner tube and synthetic fiber reinforcement makes it ideal for applications that require flexibility, a small bend radius, and superior resistance to abrasion and environmental factors. Its non-conductive properties are a key safety feature in many of its applications.

High-Pressure Hydraulic Tools: Utilized in hydraulic rescue tools (e.g., the “Jaws of Life”) and other portable equipment where a lightweight and durable hose is critical for operator safety and efficiency.
Construction and Agriculture: Commonly found on heavy machinery and agricultural equipment where they must withstand abrasion, chemicals, and extreme weather conditions.
Marine Steering: Their resistance to saltwater and corrosion makes them an excellent choice for marine applications.
Water Jetting and Cleaning: Their high pressure rating and resistance to water make them ideal for industrial cleaning and cutting applications.
There are several types of thermoplastic hydraulic hoses, which are generally categorized by their pressure rating and construction as defined by the SAE J517 standard.
While the standard includes many types of hoses, the most common thermoplastic variations are R7 and R8.
SAE 100R7 is a medium-pressure thermoplastic hose. It’s designed for applications where electrical non-conductivity is crucial, using a single or double synthetic fiber braid for reinforcement. It’s often used on aerial lifts and cherry pickers.
SAE 100R8 is a high-pressure thermoplastic hose. It’s built with more robust synthetic fiber reinforcement, often aramid, to handle higher pressures. It’s a lightweight alternative to traditional high-pressure rubber hoses.
SAE 100R18 is a compact, high-pressure thermoplastic hose.3 This type offers the same working pressure as 100R8 but with a smaller outer diameter and a tighter bend radius, making it ideal for confined spaces.
