Resistoflex started manufacturing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) lined braided
hose in New Jersey in 1936. The PVA lined hoses were superior to rubber
hose for all types of marine, automotive, and aviation applications both
commercial and military. At the end of WWII, the jet engine put new
demands on existing hose materials in terms of corrosion resistance and
higher temperature handling capabilities. It was at that time that
Resistoflex began working with a new material called Teflon® PTFE, and
eventually developed and patented a process to extrude PTFE tubing.
Resistoflex invented PTFE lined hose in 1953 for the aerospace and
chemical industries, and in 1956 introduced the world’s first pipe and
fittings lined with Teflon® PTFE.
Today, Resistoflex Industrial manufactures corrosion-resistant plastic
lined pipe, fittings, and Teflon® chemical hoses in our 220,000 sq. ft.
plant in Marion, NC.
In addition to our domestic capacity, Resistoflex has announced the
acquisition of two European facilities, Resistoflex GmbH in Germany,
and Resistoflex B.V. in The Netherlands. Resistoflex Defense supplies
the aerospace and defense industries with PTFE lined hoses and
high-pressure Dynatube® fittings from its manufacturing facility in
Jacksonville, FL.
In 1995, Resistoflex Industrial added lined pipe and fittings
manufacturing capacity in Singapore and established a joint venture in
Thailand, making Resistoflex a truly global supplier of plastic lined
piping products. To further strengthen the Resistoflex commitment to Asia,
we opened a sales and fabrication center in China in 1997.
In 1998, Crane Resistoflex acquired the Plastic Line Piping Products
division of The Dow Chemical Company (who invented Saran® lined pipe
in 1943), making Resistoflex the largest and most technologically
advanced lined piping manufacturer in the world. Resistoflex brings this
vast array of experience and know-how to bear in the design, engineering,
and manufacturing of corrosion-resistant plastic-lined pipe, fittings,
and hoses.
