Urebrade is reinforced with polyester braid material incorporated with its walls of polyurethane and is available in two styles: naturally transparent or opaque black. Both offer higher pressure capabilities than unreinforced tubing and smooth interior surfaces for unobstructed flow. Urebrade resists moisture, fungi, oils, fuels, and greases, as well as abrasion, impact, vibration, and tearing. This combination of benefits gives Urebrade performance advantages over other plastic and rubber hose and extends its service life, resulting in overall lower costs. Another important feature is that the hose does not contain plasticizer, an ingredient used in some plastic materials to increase their flexibility. Plasticizer can leach out, causing hardening of the hose or contamination. Urebrade’s flexibility is innate.

Urebrade offers a temperature range between -90°F and 175°F (-67.7°C to 79.4°C). The transparent style allows visual contact with the flow and is listed by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF-61 for use with potable water). It is stocked in sizes from 1/4” through 2” I.D. Black Urebrade, developed mainly for industrial applications, hides dirt and grime and is less expensive than the transparent version. Sizes from 1/4” to 3/4” I.D. are available from stock. Custom variations of Urebrade, such as thermal hose bonding, special sizes and colors, heat-formed shapes, and cut-to-length pieces, are available, along with NewAge® Industries’ unreinforced polyurethane tubing, Superthane®, for less demanding applications.
