Aurora Plastics offers high-performance products for hose & tube applications including AuroraTec™, AuroraTe, AuroraPrene™ & AuroraFlex™ flexible PVC.

Hose & Tube

Aurora Plastics offers a variety of high-performance products for hose and tube applications. These include:

  • AuroraTec™ exterior weatherable rigid PVC compounds are highly impact resistant. These compounds are available in powder or pellet form in various colors for application flexibility. Highly versatile, our AuroraTec interior rigid PVC compounds can be used as stand-alone compounds or as structural substrates, along with capstock, in two-part systems for applications that require high weatherability. Either way, these compounds provide a wide processing window and excellent impact resistance. There are hundreds of colors available, and all of these compounds are offered in both molding and extrusion grades.
  • With AuroraTec PVC composites, enhanced dimensional stability is achieved. At more than twice the tensile or flexural modulus of typical PVC substrates, higher performance-engineered profiles are possible. Combined with a lower coefficient of expansion, you also get significantly less contraction or expansion due to temperature fluctuations. They can be used as stand-alone compounds or as structural substrates, along with capstock, in two-part systems for applications that require high weatherability.
  • AuroraFlex™ flexible PVC is a cost-effective alternative to our thermoplastic elastomers. These compounds provide flexible PVC from 35A to 95A Shore A durometer* to semi-rigid, with specific gravities ranging from 1.15 to 1.65. We use various types of compound additives to promote plasticity and flexibility to meet specific needs, such as renewable non-phthalate, improved low temperature tolerance and biocides. When you’re looking for a compound that offers high-abrasion resistance and excellent processing properties, AuroraFlex SL is designed to produce longer-lasting materials, with no tearing.
  • Unlike rigid PVC, AuroraFlex SBS and SEBS compounds utilize multiple TPE/TPR chemistries to impart high-performance properties for durability and easy processing. TPE options are available as low as 10A* up to 50D durometer hardness. Some of our TPEs are offered in clear, as well as oil free grades.
  • AuroraGuard™ compounds include rigid and flexible PVC and TPEs that provide high-heat, low-smoke zero-halogen and flame-retardant properties. As a result, they are ideal for demanding applications where hose and tube can be found, including appliance, automotive, custom extrusion and injection molding.

Our team will also work with you to complete the formulation, with fillers in order to offer more specific properties, like reduced shrinkage, increased weight, pigment and lubrication.

* NOTE: Durometer hardness is measured with a calibrated durometer using the Shore Type-A scale in a room of consistent temperature. The indenter is inserted for 15 seconds to determine if it passes the ASTM D2240-Durometer Hardness test for the desired durometer.
