PVC was accidentally discovered by French chemist Henri Regnault in 1835. Chloroethylene gas was unexpectedly exposed to sunlight and became a solid, a process now known as polymerization. However, it wasn't until the 1920s that researchers began to explore its potential as a replacement for rubber.
Due to its excellent cost-effectiveness, PVC hose pipes have become the preferred choice for many industries, and its durability and low maintenance further enhance this advantage. While PVC hose pipes are clearly a widely used high-quality hose material, it is always worth checking to ensure that you have chosen the right conduit or hose for your job.

Farmers use steel suction and spiral suction PVC hose pipes for irrigating fields and spraying insecticides and supplements on crops. They also use it as a conduit for transporting grain, flour, and even natural gas and fuel. In terms of industrial applications, hydraulic PVC hose pipes are used in machinery in factories.
In the oil and gas industry, steel-reinforced hoses make PVC hose pipe corrosion-resistant and anti-static. This makes it a suitable choice for moving high-pressure and explosive liquids and gases. The same defense also makes it useful for transferring sludge in construction, chemical, and automotive industries through suction hoses. PVC braided reinforced hoses are most commonly used for agriculture, fishery, engineering, and household products. It can transport fluids and gases such as water, alkaline solutions, oil, acids, oxygen, and coal gas.
As you can see, PVC is widely used for various applications worldwide. In fact, it is one of the most widely used hoses in the PVF industry, accounting for more than 82% of hose sales. This is partly because PVC is very economical. Additionally, it is very suitable for applications that will not be exposed to extreme temperatures, UV radiation, or chemicals. It is a lightweight hose with many different applications, making it a best-selling product.
