A crush-resistant hose that always snaps back into shape after being driven over or stepped on repeatedly.

The Master-PUR STEP Polyurethane hose from Masterduct is crush-resistant, extremely flexible, and super lightweight. The unique hollow profile spiral snaps back into shape when driven over or walked on making it ideal for floor level areas where conventional hoses are subjected to rough conditions and can be permanently deformed.

Antistatic with an FDA compliant hose wall, the Master-PUR STEP hose can be used in a wide variety of applications, such as dust and powder conveyance, wood processing, food and pharmaceutical processing, or as a general protective hose.

PVC or Polyurethane??

Many companies have used PVC hose for years as a less expensive alternative to other hose materials. Depending on the conditions and the elements; PVC can wear out quickly due to abrasion or environmental exposure and can even be deadly in case of fire. Masterduct can provide a better solution for your facility.
