AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRYEXHAUST EMISSION REDUCTION – HOSE SYSTEMS PAVE THE WAY FOR A CLEAN FUTURE

International exhaust emission standards impose additional emission controls for both commercial and passenger diesel vehicles.Emission reduction is effected via a process called selective catalytic reduction (SCR) using AdBlue®, whereby heating of the hose also supports this functional process.

REHAU has addressed the various requirements and supplies complete assemblies that include electrical heating. As such, REHAU products are available as rigid, heatable hoses for installing in control units, or as flexible, heatable laminated hoses for distributing AdBlue®.

However, REHAU hoses are not just helping the commercial vehicle industry to comply with stringent stan-dards. We also offer innovative system solutions in the passenger vehicle sector with AdBlue®-compatible material and individual heating layout according to customer specifications.

REHAU also supplies hoses for systems heated by coolant.

AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRYCOOLANT SYSTEMFUNCTIONALITY UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS

REHAU silicone and heat-shrinkable tubing is used in air conditioning technology on account of its positive physical attributes.

REHAU silicone abrasion protection hoses provide optimal functionality in automotive AC units at both high and low temperatures thanks to their positive absorption characteristics.

RAUCROSS DSC is the REHAU specialist product for radiator manifolds. This abrasion-proof heat-shrinkable tube made of modified, braided polyolefin was specifically developed for insulating and protecting intricately bent parts and will not kink even when applied in tight radiuses.

High expansion rates allowing for easy fitting and resistance to petrol, oil, weather, ageing and abrasion round off the attributes of the RAUCROSS DSC product range.

Hoses for fire prevention technology

Fire prevention technology encompasses fire prevention and extinguisher hoses in so-called wall-mounted fire-hose reels, which are used to initially tackle fires by those on the spot.Silicone seals for fire doors complete our portfolio.

Concrete injection hoses

Components made of water-resistant concrete also have to seal off water in any joining areas. Through the injection of compressed material via injection hose into the relevant joints, the joint and even directly connected flawed areas in the concrete, can be filled out with the injected medium so that water no longer seeps through. For such applications, REHAU provides specially developed industrial hose solutions.

Pneumatic hoses

In addition to the generation of pneumatic hoses for the automotive industry, REHAU also develops special hoses for other pneumatic applications, such as compressed air feed hoses.

Automatic “high-tech“ coffee and espresso machines are increasingly dominating the market.

Whereas hot water seeps without pressure through the coffee powder during the standard preparation of coffee, in the case of espresso, hot water is pushed through finely ground coffee at a pressure of between 9 and 16 bar.

As such, the demands placed on water feed tubing materials are continuously increasing. They not only need to be heat and pressure-resistant, but also have to be extremely flexible. Hybrid reinforced silicone tubing from REHAU combines all these attributes.

Globally recognised companies in the automatic coffee machine sector use REHAU tubing in their ma-chines. Firstly, because the silicone tubing, with its hybrid reinforced braid, is an innovative and efficient variant to standard tubing solutions; and secondly because REHAU can provide specific support to ensure taste-free attributes thanks to its formulation expertise.

GARDEN TECHNOLOGYGARDEN HOSES – GREATER CLARITY, BETTER DESIGN

The REHAU garden technology range offers numerous products for domestic gardeners, professionals and garden centres alike.

Improved overview, straightforward selectionThe three-category system in which all REHAU garden hoses are classified provides an improved overview and creates clear structures. Categories describe the attributes of garden hoses in terms of use and appli-cation and, as such, help the end consumer with their purchase decision at the point-of-sale.

“PREMIUM” category hoses are ideal for demanding, extended applications and tough conditions in com-plex, multi-facetted gardens. Whether applied in nurseries, local authority, sports facilities or in construc-tion, premium hoses will hold up even on hard surfaces such as gravel or concrete.

“COMFORT” category hoses are recommended for intensive applications in, for example, market gardens. Products from this line easily cope with the high demands of complex garden facilities and are characteri-sed by their excellent handling.

The “ALL-ROUND” category encompasses a large selection of different hoses for the domestic gardener and regular medium-load use.

Quality stars for even greater clarityTo enable a quicker overview of the various hose ranges, REHAU has provided its products with quality stars. This new system will help in terms of reference and decisions as to which garden hose is suitable for the respective application.

High qualityThroughout its entire scope of performance, REHAU attaches great importance to the fact that its products meet the highest quality standards. As a consequence, diagonal reinforcement is used in the manufacture of garden hoses throughout all the product lines, thereby guaranteeing a high degree of burst resistance. In the diagonal reinforcement used by REHAU, two counter-rotating reinforcement filaments are introduced into the inner hose at a precise filament angle of 54 degrees. This process provides a high level of robust-ness in terms of hose shape and also prevents deformation in length and diameter as well as twisting or kinking. This is why REHAU garden hoses have such a long service life.

GARDEN TECHNOLOGYACCESSORIES – AS PRACTICAL AS IT GETS!

A comprehensive selection of accessories rounds off REHAU’s range of garden technology products.

Hose box – flexible in every wayQuicker, tidier and more convenient hose application is ensured with the flexible REHAU hose box. The in-tegrated hose box technology provides convenient handling: simply pull out the hose to the required length and give a short tug to activate the locking device. Another tug after watering and the hose is automatically rolled back into the hose box.

Hose storageFor secure and space-saving storage and easy transportation of REHAU garden hoses, REHAU offers a variety of hose holders and carts that are compatible with the various applications.

The “PREMIUM” category metal hose cart allows up to 50m of ¾“ hose to be easily rolled up and trans-ported. Both frame and drum are made of galvanised steel, which makes the cart extremely robust and stable. The „COMFORT” category metal hose cart has room for 50m of ½“ garden hose.

The hose cart and hose holder are also available in plastic and are available as an option with hose inclu-ded.

Irrigation controlMake the most of your free time with the automatic garden irrigation controller from REHAU. This practical water timer and irrigation computer ensures that sprinkling is carried out punctually. And it couldn’t be easier: simply set the duration and interval or select the desired program and the garden promptly waters itself!

RAUTOXAM hose for pest control

Safety is of utmost importance when handling pesticides. RAUTOXAM hose meets this requirement. The ope-rating pressure is 80 bar – safety factor 3, which fully complies with the German “Guidelines on the Accident Prevention Regulations of the Federal Union for Agricultural Trade Associations”. RAUTOXAM is abrasion, weather and ageing resistant, flexible, cadmium-free and easy to handle.

Grafting clips for vegetable plants

REHAU special silicone formulation grafting clips are used for top grafting vegetable plants as the binding element between the stock and the vegetable/fruit and also simultaneously ensure the required connection stability. The clips can be used with all graftable vegetable types. Thanks to the elastic characteristic of the special silicone formulation, the firmness of the grip is regulated by the respective stem resistance. As such, crushing of the stem is consequently avoided.

The attributes of the silicone material in terms of being physiologically harmless and heat resistant are just two of the benefits of using special REHAU silicone formulation grafting clips.

Grafting clips are available for a variety of young plants in the diameters 1.3 mm/1.6 mm/2.1 mm and 2.7 mm.
