Synflex Optimum textile braided hoses

Superior performance

Combining the best properties of nylon and polyester thermoplastic hoses, our new-to-the-world Synflex Optimum thermoplastic hydraulic hose portfolio elevates the standard for performance, longevity and versatility to enable OEMs to design safer, more effective systems. Thermoplastic hose assemblies can be formed to fit precisely in your application, thereby eliminating the need for time-consuming rounding.

Light weight - 2X lighter than equivalent wire braided rubber hoses
Long life - Highly abrasion resistant cover
Tailored application
- Multi-line bonding
- Custom thermoforming: Danfoss thermoforming process foe hoses to be molded into configurations that match system design resulting in tighter routing, faster machine and optimized performance.

Empowering systems you’ve imagined— without limitations.

Danfoss' Synflex Optimum thermoplastic hydraulic hoses and fittings empower you to reimagine design. Our system engineered portfolio offers streamlined product configurations that make it easy to find the perfect combination for every application. And our commitment to innovation includes the design and technical support needed to develop more efficient, safe and productive systems.

Designed for tough jobs

Unlike traditional rubber hydraulic hoses, thermoplastic hydraulic hoses are built to withstand extreme environmental conditions and high abrasion applications. Constructed with the best properties of both nylon and polyester hoses, Danfoss new-to-the-world hose composition elevates the standard for performance, longevity and versatility.

Hose Benefits

Smaller OD: Synflex Optimum hoses have smaller outside diameters than rubber braided hoses with an identical internal diameter
UV/Ozone protection: The TPU and polyester outer cover resists ozone, ultraviolent light and aging.
Chemical resistance: Thermoplastic composition prevents absorption of most oils and hydraulic fluids. Multiple configurations provide chemical compatibilities not found in rubber hoses.
Lighter weight: 2X lighter than equivalent wire-braided rubber hoses—reducing machine weight and power requirements.
Higher abrasion resistance: The TPU and polyester outer cover exceeds the stringent abrasion requirements specified by today’s forklift and telehandler manufacturers.

Long lengths: Longer hose lengths mean less scrap and fewer coupling junctions. Hoses come in lengths of up to 500m (1,640 ft.) for the large hose size and up to 1,500 (4,921 ft.) for smaller sizes.
Clean system: The Synflex composition does not degrade or contaminate filters and valves. Synflex hoses help maintain a cleaner system
Permeation resistance: Thermoplastic hoses offer better permeation resistance against gases than rubber hydraulic hoses
Temperature resistance: Improved hose functionality over a wide temperature range—from -65° F up to 201° F

Fittings benefits

Offered in over 500 combinations including NPT, ORS, DIN, SAE, JIC, JIS, BSP, and many other standard and unique terminations
Optimized to work together with Synflex Optimum thermoplastic hydraulic hoses
Simple one-piece design that reduces matching errors during assembly
No brazing failure risks
Minimal assembly times
Captive nut eliminates the weak spots and distributes force to prevent cracks and leaks
Less force is needed during assembly to push fittings onto hoses
Safe, proven, and reliable
