Metal Applications

Metal processing environments generate extreme heat, abrasive particulates, and toxic fumes that destroy standard hoses in weeks. For welding fume extraction and oil mist capture, the Flex-Tube PU 60 HF and Flx-Thane HD deliver heavy-wall polyurethane that resists hot sparks and metal particles while maintaining strong vacuum. The Flx-Thane MD and XLD series provide medium-duty and extra-light-duty options for sheet metal shops and laser engraving where flexibility and visibility matter. For high-temperature foundry and aluminum refractory applications, the Flexadux TR T-7 and Heat-Flex GS handle sustained elevated heat that melts polyurethane alternatives. The Flex-Lok 300 provides all-metal construction for the most extreme temperature environments in metal casting and refractory operations. The Genesis Commercial and Flexadux CWY add coated fabric options for foundry sand transfer and sand blasting dust collection where abrasion resistance and spark containment are critical.
