Eschbach HILCODUR PETROL – Antistatic Firefighting Hose for Hazardous Areas

The Eschbach HILCODUR PETROL is a premium synthetic layflat fire hose designed specifically for use in explosive or hazardous environments, including petrochemical plants, refineries, industrial sites, and fuel storage facilities. Manufactured in Germany by Jakob Eschbach, this hose combines exceptional oil resistance, antistatic safety, and durability, making it one of the most trusted hoses for professional firefighting operations worldwide.

Built for Safety in Explosive Environments

Developed according to DIN 14811 standards, the HILCODUR PETROL features three integrated copper wires woven into the hose jacket to provide electrical conductivity below 10⁶ Ω at 100 V, ensuring antistatic protection in potentially explosive areas. This makes it ideal for operations involving flammable liquids, vapors, or powders, where static discharge can pose a serious risk.

Exceptional Construction and Materials

The hose jacket is made from 100% high-tenacity polyester yarn, circular woven for outstanding tensile strength and abrasion resistance. It is coated externally with a special polyurethane (PU) layer that enhances resistance to oil, fuel, and a wide range of industrial chemicals, ensuring long service life even under rough handling and demanding conditions.

Inside, a vulcanized oil-resistant lining compound provides maximum flexibility and protection against aggressive media. Together, these materials deliver an extremely robust hose that performs reliably in both indoor and outdoor firefighting applications, even in harsh climates.
