PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and PU (polyurethane) are two different types of synthetic polymers often used to make hoses. Here are some important differences between PVC and PU hoses:
Composition: PVC hoses are made of polyvinyl chloride, while PU hoses are made of polyurethane.
Durability: PU hoses are generally more durable and abrasion resistant than PVC hoses.
Chemical Resistance: PVC hoses are generally more resistant to chemicals than PU hoses
Temperature Resistance: Both PVC and PU hoses are resistant to high temperatures, but PU hoses can withstand higher temperatures for longer periods of time.
Cost: PVC hoses are generally less expensive than PU hoses.
