HFX is a nitrile thru-the-weave, rubber covered fire hose that utilizes both polyester and nylon 6.6 yarn in the reinforcing jacket. Under pressure, the polyester keeps the hose from “snaking” where the nylon allows for controlled dilation, reducing friction loss and generating higher flow rates. The pecial rubber compound provides a tough cover that resists heat, abrasion, snags and hot embers. The interlocking matrix also means no adhesives are used and there is a permanent bond to all the warp and weft yarns.
