Composite Oil and Chemical Hose

Composite Oil and Chemical HosePark Hose & Gaskets Limited are distributor of one of the world’s leading Composite hose manufacturers. Dantec's vast experience in providing high quality hose and related equipment to a wide range of industries, has enabled us to design and manufacture composite hose to suit virtually any application.

Major companies worldwide, involved in the production and transfer of chemicals, oil and gas, now rely on Dantec for their critical applications.

All composite hose assemblies from Dantec are tested to ensure electrical continuity, and are approved to all the relevant British, European and International standards.

Chemical Hoses

  • Danchem Hoses

    Polypropylene (PP) lined hose is the most popular in our range. It is our general purpose chemical hose. The lining and sealing films are polypropylene, which has a very wide chemical resistance and is therefore suitable for transfer of most chemicals. Our most commonly used general purpose hose has a polyproplylene covered inner wire and galvanised steel outer wire (Danchem PG) , but can also be manufactured with stainless steel inner and galvanised steel outer wires, (Danchem SG), or with stainless steel wires inside and out (Danchem SS).

    For those chemicals where polypropylene is not suitable, Dantec manufacture hoses with ECTFE or Nylon lining.

  • ECTFE Hoses

    ECTFE is predominantly used for more aggressive chemicals, and is supplied with inner wire of either stainless steel (Danflon SG) or galvanised steel (Danflon GG), and also stainless steel outer wire if required (Danflon SS). Also available, are versions of this hose to take high temperatures of up to 160°. These are depicted by the suffix A ie: Danflon GGA, Danflon SGA etc.

  • Nylon Hoses

    Nylon lined hose is an economical alternative to ECTFE as a lining in hose for use with Biofuels and high aromatic solvents such as benzene and toluene. It can be manufactured with an inner wire of Aluminium (Danoil 9 AG), nylon covered mild steel (Danoil 9 NG), or stainless steel (Danoil 9 SG), depending on the weight and application of the hose required. Outer wires can be, as usual, of galvanised mild steel, or stainless steel (Danoil 9 SS).

  • Superflex Hoses

    Superflex hose is the premier hose in our range. It is manufactured with an ECTFE lining and with internal and external wires of Stainless steel. It is an extremely robust hose for the most arduous applications in Oil or Chemical transfer; and in applications where long unsupported lengths or low pressure steam cleaning results in a short working life for standard hoses.

Oil Hoses

  • Petroleum and Vegetable Hoses

    DanOil hoses have a polypropylene lining and polypropylene fabrics and films, except where the oil is of high aromatic content and then a nylon lining may be required.

    The wires can be of aluminium (Danoil 7 AL), or galvanised carbon steel (Danoil 7), according to the application of the hose.

  • Biofuel Hoses

    Biofuel hoses are manufactured with a nylon lining and with an aluminium (Danoil 9 AG), nylon covered (Danoil 9 NG), stainless steel inner wire Danoil 9 SG, or of course both stainless steel wires (Danoil 9 SS).

  • Superflex Hoses

    Superflex hose is the premier hose in our range. It is manufactured with an ECTFE lining and with internal and external wires of Stainless steel. It is an extremely robust hose for the most arduous applications in Oil or Chemical transfer; and in applications where long unsupported lengths or low pressure steam cleaning results in a short working life for standard hoses.

Vapour Recovery Hoses

Vapour recovery hose is a light weight hose, mainly used up to 7bar which can be used for a wide selection of vapours, some of which can be aggressive. Therefore this hose is manufactured mostly with a pp lining, but with the inner wire option of galvanised mild steel (Danoil VR), pp covered wire (Danchem PG VR) or stainless steel (Danchem SS VR)

Cryogenic Hoses


Danchem PA Cryogenic hose is manufactured with low temperature thermoplastic fabrics and films, and stainless steel inner and outer wires. It is used to convey products such as LPG and Liquid Ethylene, Ammonia, or Carbon Dioxide.


Superflex Hoses


Superflex hose is the premier hose in our range. It is manufactured with an ECTFE lining and with internal and external wires of Stainless steel. It is an extremely robust hose for the most arduous applications in Oil or Chemical transfer; and in applications where long unsupported lengths or low pressure steam cleaning results in a short working life for standard hoses.


Biofuel Hoses


Biofuel hoses are manufactured with a nylon lining and with an aluminium (Danoil 9 AG), nylon covered (Danoil 9 NG), stainless steel inner wire Danoil 9 SG, or of course both stainless steel wires (Danoil 9 SS).


Firesafe Hoses


Firesafe Hose is a Dantec composite hose with high fire resistance and is constructed from materials which guarantee that the hose will not fail catastrophically in the event of a fire, thus allowing fire services to control the fire without pressure build up in the hose, avoiding an explosive release of flammable product. This hose is of great value where spontaneous combustion may be a possibility, in areas of extreme external heat or, where operations are near to residential areas. It is available for most applications, except Cryogenic. This is the hose used to refuel Formula 1 racing cars.


Quality System


Dantec composite hose products meet all major national and international standards, and have International Maritime Organisation approvals for transfer of hazardous chemicals and liquefied gases. All marine hoses meet the requirements of the United States Coastguard. Dantec were the first manufacturer to achieve ISO9002/BS5750 status, and have been registered with the British Standards Institute since 1988 (Reg. No. Q5773).
