A new rubber tanker-discharge hose designed specifically to handle heated oil-based products has been introduced by Goodyear. It is called Super
Black Fiexwing and is claimed to be highly resistant to adhesion breakdown caused by heat.
A longer life than that provided by standard, petroleum hose under high-heat conditions should result from this feature and the hose is therefore recommended by Goodyear for moving products such at hot tallow, bunker oil and black oil which need to be heated to permit transport by hose. High heat resistance is provided in the hose by a special Chemigum synthetic rubber compound that improves tube and cover adhesion; Chemic-vic rubbercover material also gives the hose good resistance to exterior damage from abrasion and oil.
Super Black Flexwing is imported from America and is available in 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 and 4in. inside diameter sizes in lengths up to 50ft and it is also marketed in 60ft lengths.
