Mercedes Textiles developed a patented weave process for our Mertex inner hose linings. We weave a molten lining material directly into the fabric jacket at the loom. This offers a superior waterway — free from adhesives, glues or other bonding agents. The smoother surface minimizes turbulence and friction to deliver greater water flow at the discharge end. Mertex lining also ensures your hose will never delaminate!
