Transparency
Characteristics
- Solvent Resistance...Since the inner layer is made of Nylon resin, it shows greater levels of solvent resistance against paints, organic solvents, thinner, and so on.
- Easy to Cut...Since we print the cut mark on the hose every meter, it is easy to cut the length you would like to.
- Flexibility...Due to the laminated structure, compared with a Nylon tubing, it shows higher levels of flexibility and kink-proof.
- Lightweight...Compared with the standard paint hose made of rubber, E-PFN is a lightweight paint hose. As a result, E-PFN leads to the reduction on the burdens of your arms and shoulders.
- Transparency...E-PFN (clear color) enables you to check the fluid very easily.
- Original Fittings...By using our original fittings, you can avoid accidents which are caused by incorrect choices of hose and fittings. For more information on our original fittings, please scroll down to the end.
Certificates and Regulations
- RoHS Compliant...E-PFN is compliant with RoHS requirements (Directive: (EU) 2015/863). (RoHS Compliant means that E-PFN does not contain RoHS 10 restricted substances or it does not exceed the upper threshold of RoHS 10 restricted substances.) Certificate is available on request.
- EU REACH and UK REACH...E-PFN is compliant with REACH SVHC 23rd list (209 substances). Certificate is available on request.
- Non-Use of UV-328...E-PFN does not contain UV-328. Certificate is available on request.

Cautions:
- Due to the laminated structure tubing, please use the joints to seal an inner surface of the hose.
- Please do not use the joints to seal an outer surface of the hose. This may result in the bursting or coming off from the hose.
- When you use our products, please refer to "Precautions for Use." ("The Precautions for Use" of E-PFN is also downloadable here.)
- In terms of chemical resistance, please refer to "Chemical Resistance Data."
Case Study
Problem: Nylon paint hose is very stiff and difficult to use.
Company A has been using a nylon paint hose. However, paint line operators are complained about the stiffness of the hose. In order to mitigate the dissatisfaction, a factory manager has to look for a softer paint hose.
HAKKO Solution:
HAKKO proposed E-PFN: Paint Flex-Nylon Hose and provided a sample. An inner layer of E-PFN is made of nylon resin, while an outer layer is made of polyurethane. Due to this multi-layer structure, E-PFN is much more flexible than a nylon hose. Paint line operators are satisfied with the flexibility of the hose, and a factory manager finds that lifetime of E-PFN is almost the same as a nylon hose. Thus, Company A decided to use E-PFN.
Selection Chart Based on Types of Solvents
Selection Chart for Solvents
Chemical Resistance: = Better = Best
Anti-Static: = Yes $\times$ = No
Vacuum: = Yes $\times$ = No
Technical Information
(A) Relationship between Working Temperature and Maximum Working Pressure
(B) Weight Difference between E-PFN and Rubber Paint Hose
This data shows that although E-PFN is much lighter than Rubber Paint Hose A, E-PFN has a larger maximum working pressure value, meaning that E-PFN is a pressure-resistance paint hose.
(C) Paint Hose Series/Data of Soaking into Paint
Test Procedure
Pieces of dumbbell (Inner Layer: Nylon Resin and ETFE Fluorine Resin) are soaked into respective types of paint in order to determine the post-soaking tensile strength and calculate its tensile strength in the formula below.
Tensile Strength (%) = (Tensile Strength After Soaking / Tensile Strength Before Soaking) × 100
Soaking Time: 50 Days (1,200 Hours)
Smaller percentage means that the material swells and deteriorates against the chemical. ETFE fluorine resin shows higher paint resistance than Nylon Resin.
This data is measured under the certain circumstances. Thus, depending on the using conditions, environments and duration, this data might not be reliable. The results shown above are NOT guaranteed. Please make sure to check under your working conditions.
