Hose Manufacturers Navigate Raw Material Volatility and Technological Advances
Synthetic Rubber Price Fluctuations: The instability in the international crude oil markets has led to significant price volatility for synthetic rubber recently. This variability directly impacts production costs for hose manufacturing companies, prompting many to consider shifting to alternative raw materials that offer more stability and cost-efficiency, ensuring continuity of production and profitability.
Polyester Fiber Strength Enhancement: The production processes for high-strength polyester fibers used as reinforcement materials in hoses have undergone substantial optimizations. Technological advancements have significantly increased the strength and wear resistance of the new polyester fibers, resulting in hose products with extended lifespan and superior performance.
Development of New Raw Materials: Driven by growing global environmental consciousness and sustainable development strategies, several hose manufacturing companies have initiated the development and application of new eco-friendly materials. The successful research and development of these new materials not only maintains the physical performance of the products but also offers solutions to reduce environmental impact. This aligns with market demands for eco-friendly and sustainable products.
