Characteristics

High Flexibility…Due to the use of soft PU, E-SNF-RED is a professional air hose which is very flexible and easy to handle.
Smoothness…The surface of the hose is smooth and the hose is less likely to get stuck anywhere. This greatly improves your work efficiency.
No Bounce Back…E-SNF-RED is less likely to curl and bounce up. As a result, E-SNF-RED will not get caught on your feet.
Duration…Polyurethane resin is strong in abrasion resistance. Thus, E-SNF-RED is suitable for air tools such as air driver.
Cold Resistance…Polyurethane resin is great at cold resistance. Thus, even though temperature reaches around minus 20$^\circ$C, E-SNF-RED does not get harden, keeping the work efficiency.
Lightweight…Compared with a rubber hose, E-SNF-RED is a lightweight hose, reducing the burdens of your wrestles and arms.
Safety…Even under the dim area, a hose color (red color) stands out. Do not worry about being caught by foot.
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.
RoHS2…E-SNF-RED is compliant with RoHS2 requirements (Directive: (EU) 2015/863). (RoHS 2 Compliant products mean that they do not contain or below the threshold of 10 substances.) Certificate is available on request.
Original Fittings…By using our original fittings, you can avoid accidents which are caused by incorrect choices of hose and fittings.

Cautions:

Due to the yarn-reinforced hose, 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.”

Frequently Asked Question

Question: What is the difference between E-SNF and E-SNF-RED?
Answer: This is just a color difference. Other than this, the product specifications remain the same. We recommend you to use E-SNF (or E-SNF-RED), because it is easier to use without being caught around the corner. However, since E-SNF is a very soft polyurethane air hose, please make sure to use our original fittings: E-RSS and E-RSP.

Model Number	I.D. $\times$ O.D.	Weight per Meter
E-SNF-6.5	6.5 mm$\times$10 mm	55 g
E-SNF-8.5	8.5 mm$\times$12.5 mm	76 g

Rubber Hose B	7.9 mm$\times$15.0 mm	190 g

(C) Flexibility Comparative Data (E-NF vs. E-SNF-RED)
e-snf_Flexibility Test Data

Test Method:

1: The sample is heated in a thermostatic chamber, which makes it straight.

2: Remove the sample from the chamber and leave it for 1 hour until it reaches the test temperature (23$^\circ$C ± 3$^\circ$C).

3: Set the tensile testing machine as shown above. Bend the sample into a U-shape. The “d” distance is 80mm for E-NF-6.5 and E-SNF-6.5 and 110mm for E-NF-8.5 and E-SNF-8.5.

Results:

Model Number	Bending Stress Value (N)
E-NF-6.5	3.28
E-SNF-6.5-RED	2.08
E-NF-8.5	3.60
E-SNF-8.5-RED	2.36

The bending stress value of E-SNF-RED is about two-thirds as large as that of E-NF. Thus, we confirm that E-SNF-RED is much softer and easy to use.
