PVC garden hose is a flexible pipe widely used in home gardening and outdoor cleaning. It is mainly made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, and plasticizers, stabilizers and other materials are added to enhance its flexibility and durability. The following is a detailed introduction to its main features and uses:
Material and structure
Basic material: PVC resin is used as the main raw material, and plasticizers (such as phthalates) are added to keep the pipe body soft, while stabilizers (such as calcium zinc complexes) are used to improve anti-aging performance.
Enhanced design: Some products are embedded with galvanized steel wire or polyester fiber braided layers, which significantly improves the pressure resistance (up to 5.0MPa) and anti-twisting, suitable for high-pressure irrigation or industrial scenes.
Environmental protection: High-quality PVC hoses use non-toxic and heavy metal-free raw materials and meet hygiene standards, but care should be taken to avoid using them at high temperatures to prevent the release of harmful substances.
Core characteristics
Weather resistance: Can withstand -20 ℃ to 70℃ temperature range, some antifreeze models remain soft and not easy to crack in low temperature environment.
Versatility: In addition to watering, it can also be used for car washing, scientific experiment demonstration, temporary drainage and other scenes.
Lightweight and easy to use: light weight, standardized interface, can be directly connected to the household faucet, no tools required for installation.
Use and maintenance
Correct operation: avoid knotting or exposure to the sun, empty the stored water after use to prevent freezing and cracking.
Extended life: regularly check for signs of aging (such as discoloration and hardening), and choose flat tubes or magic hoses to reduce entanglement when storing.
PVC garden hoses have become an efficient tool for modern gardening and outdoor cleaning due to their economy, flexibility and durability.
