Sodium hypochloritecan be used at concentrations of up to 12 % at room temperature.
Pressure resistance varies depending on the size and the temperature.

[Important notice (All hoses)]
Certain types of fluid ( water,edible substances,cleaning agents ) may react with the hose material and impart odor or taste,during and/or after use.It is important to ascertain the suitability of the hose product prior to use. ( The hose product is suitable for all types of dairy products and is not subject to any regulatory or legal restrictions.Nevertheless, Toyox recomments a trial run prior to making the final decision. ) Note also the following:

Note A : Various odors and/or tastes may be emitted dependeing on the types of fluid and the
temperatures.
Note B : odor/taste levels are generally low,although a plastic smell may become noticeable.
Note C : while not totally free of odor and taste,there is no significant problem.

*Products in the Toyox Food Hose series company with the requirements of the Food Sanitation Act for milk and dairy products.

[Important notice (TOYOSILICONE,TOYOSILICONE-S)]
*1 Leaching levels do not exceed the threshold values set out in the standard test defined in Notification.No.201 to the food Sanitation Act.Note that the following provisos apply tothe use of animal and vegetable oils in the hose products.
(1) When the hose products are used to carry animal or vegetabale oils,the oilmay penetrate through the hose wall/ This may cause the exterior of the hose to become slippery to the touch and/or unhygienic , and may even cause the hose to come free from its sockets.
(2) At temperatures above 70°C the hose material can become brittle, exacerbating the risk of ruptures and cracks. It is important to ensure that the usage environment will be suitable for the hose type before making the final decision. Toyox is happy to supply hose samples
for testing.

[ Important Note (TOYOFOODS,TOYOFOODS-S,TOYORING-F)]
 

Dioxin may be produced during combustion at 800°C or less.

*2 Using high concentration alcohol may accelerate the hardening of hose.

Please note that the transparency of the hose material may be slightly diminished during normal use or cleaning. This is common to most plastics and does not indicate any loss of performance.
