Rubber: Rubber is the most common hydraulic hose material. It offers flexibility, abrasion resistance, and affordability for general hydraulic systems with moderate pressure and temperature demands. There are many sub-categories of rubber hose, including nitrile rubber (oil-resistant) and neoprene (weather-resistant), depending on the use case.

Thermoplastic: Lightweight and flexible thermoplastic hose is ideal for tight spaces and low-pressure applications, such as tools and forklifts. Examples include nylon and polyurethane hoses. This type of hose offers good chemical resistance and strong performance, even at low temperatures.

Teflon (PTFE): Teflon hose is highly resistant to aggressive chemicals, high temperatures, and abrasion, making it the go-to option for applications like chemical processing and aerospace. This hoses&#;s superior performance comes at a higher cost to customers and is generally only recommended for highly demanding applications.

Stainless Steel: Stainless steel hoses are used in environments where hoses are likely to encounter extreme temeratures and corrosive or abrasive materials. These hoses are commonly used to transport aggressive fluids.
