Kuriyama of America recently announced the release of its Tigerflex Amphibian Solarguard AMPH-SLR series of thermoplastic industrial hoses. Along with the original Tigerflex Amphibian AMPH, it is series of heavy-duty polyurethane-lined hoses that can handle both wet and dry applications.

One of the key features of the AMPH and AMPH-SLR hoses are high abrasion resistance, meaning its liner is specially designed to resist internal wear, especially in the hose bends. This leads to less down time and lower operating costs for contractors.

The hoses also are oil and UV resistant, according to Kuriyama, and they won’t dry out and crack from oil and UV exposure.

The AMPH series’ convoluted cover and Cold-Flex materials resist hose kinking and allow the hose to remain flexible in subzero temperatures. A static dissipative cover provides added safety. A static wire is available in 6- and 8-inch (inside diameter) sizes for the AMPH-SLR, which also boasts advanced UV resistance.

Kuriyama of America Inc., a part of Kuriyama Holdings Corp., first opened its doors in 1968. Located in Schaumburg, Illinois, the company has developed and marketed a complete line of thermoplastic hose and accessories. 

Today, the Kuriyama of America group of companies includes eight subsidiaries and six distribution centers, as well as numerous distributors, providing a complete line of thermoplastic, rubber and metal hose products and accessories for use in industrial and commercial applications.
