Dunlop Hiflex has consolidated its extensive waterblast product range to offer a simple, no-nonsense solution matching generic industry pressure ratings while maintaining the highest level of performance. For additional operational flexibility a unique insert elbow fitting now joins the range of terminations. Dunlop Hiflex is a UK manufacturer and a market leader in the supply of specialist rubber hose and fittings for a wide variety of high-pressure waterblast applications.
For 20 years the company has supplied fully tested and certified waterblast hose assemblies to a worldwide market through its dedicated network of skilled and authorised distributors.
The new Waterblast series is backed by a long history of hose design and manufacture.
With continued attention to details such as flexibility, light weight and durability, Dunlop Hiflex produces the Waterblast range in four pressure series with a safety factor of 2.5:1 in line with RMA (USA), BFPA (UK) and DIN (Germany) standards.
