We are back to report on the latest happenings in performance silicone hoses and tubing through the Flex Technologies blog. Flex Technologies is your silicone hoses and tubing superstore. We manufacture and stock a wide variety of silicone hoses and tubing, but if you can not find the specific hoses or tubing you need, just give us a call and we will help you out.

We have adopted several proven Lean Manufacturing protocols, which allows us to more adequately meet the individual needs of our clientele. We have even developed hoses to relieve many of our clients need for custom silicone hoses. For example, we recently developed a Convoluted Flex Hose offers increased flexibility to clients and saves them from paying a set-up fee that is customary for specialized orders.

“Temperature range- Rubber has a fairly limited temperature range, and anything beyond its normal range could cause it to crack, split, bulge, or even break down altogether, which could leave you with an overheated engine if you aren't careful. Alternatively, silicone can stand strong in a wide range of temperatures. Keep in mind that the exact temperature range will depend on the brand that you buy.”
