Parflex 1035HT

[Mikey P]

Got a new 200 ft run last week. Orange stuff.



Has it always had the words Power Clean printed on it?


Could be my imagination but this batch feels much more supple than in the past.

Has it always had the words Power Clean printed on it?

Yep, pretty much, unless private labeled.

Well, I'll be a monkeys uncle.


Hey Shawn, would you sell Parflex to a cleaner who has a truckmount that can clean @ 250º non stop?

 

[Shawn Forsythe]

Nope.

In fact I tossed and gave away a few thousand feet when we were having problems with it at SG. Some may remember me giving a bunch away at Summerfest 2001 with a disclaimer. Back then Parker was using Kevlar as a reinforcing braid. Unless Kevlar is molded within a polymer, it tends to cut itself when braided as it was.

I know they fixed the problem, but they still use a thermoplastic core. Thermoplastic by definition softens with heat. Although you can probably get by in the mid 250's, people will take it higher with great risk of blowing ends.
