Flextron from Dockweiler combines the advantages of flexible corrugated hoses with the purity of electropolished stainless steel tubes – a real innovation for high-purity applications. A special electropolishing process increases particle-free performance, improves passivation and optimizes flow behavior. Manufactured from 316L stainless steel and optionally fitted with a special wire braiding that significantly increases pressure resistance, Flextron offers the highest level of process reliability with minimal risk of contamination compared to similar products. Perfect for process gas supply in the semiconductor and fine chemical industries, as they compensate vibrations and ensure a secure connection even in complex plant structures. With Flextron, you can rely on uncompromising quality – for consistent UHP quality throughout your entire system.
Flextron – The Corrugated Stainless Steel Hose
When uncompromising purity is required, Dockweiler Flextron is the right choice. These electropolished stainless steel corrugated hoses provide the perfect solution for high-purity applications, minimizing the risk of contamination while ensuring maximum flexibility in process gas supply – ideal for the semiconductor and fine chemical industries.
