One reason why odors remain in fluids carried by hoses is the odor coming from the hoses themselves. Not addressing such a problem can result in products becoming defective and lead to even bigger problems. Choosing the right type of hose is essential when manufacturing products where odor is a problem. In this article, Hose Adviser Pro will introduce types of low-odor hoses and how to select the right one for your application.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group c-list-point p-single-cm__block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"c-list-point__head\">Key points of this article<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list c-list-point__list\">\n<li>Hose material properties: All hose materials have a different degree of odor transfer. It is important to choose the right hose by looking at its material properties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Preventing odor transfer: In preventing odor transfer, selecting the appropriate hose and thoroughly cleaning the inside of the hose to remove any fluid remnants is essential. Using different hoses for different purposes can also be effective.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading c-h2-line--dot l-heading-level-2\">Hose material properties and suitable usage environments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group p-single-cm__block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start with a question for everyone from Hose Adviser Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group p-single-cm__block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group c-comment --q\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group c-comment__icon\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hose-dr.toyox.co.jp\/wp-content\/themes\/toyox-hose-dr\/assets\/images\/single_cm_a.webp\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group c-comment__content\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group c-comment-qa\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"c-comment-qa__head\">Which of the following hose materials has low levels of odor transfer and is suitable for use in food and beverage manufacturing?<br><br>A.

However, these plasticizers may dissolve due to factors such as the effects of heat or oil, which may in turn cause odors to transfer to the product depending on the usage environment. For this reason, care must be taken when manufacturing products where odor and elution are particularly problematic, such as in the case of food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Some PVC hoses are formulated to feature low elution to enable their use for products such as food.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group p-single-cm__block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading c-h3-icon--plus l-heading-level-3\"><strong>Silicone rubber<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hoses made of silicone rubber feature low elution, low odor, insulating properties, and are also easy to clean.

Because these hoses have minimal odor, are non-toxic, and have little elution that may affect fluids, they are safe for use with products such as food, beverages, and cosmetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group p-single-figure p-single-cm__block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hose-dr.toyox.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/tsi_main_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-454\" style=\"width:309px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/english.toyox-hose.com\/member\/hose\/search?hose_function%5B%5D=12&amp;hose_function%5B%5D=13&amp;hose_material%5B%5D=2\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/english.toyox-hose.com\/member\/hose\/search?hose_function%5B%5D=12&amp;hose_function%5B%5D=13&amp;hose_material%5B%5D=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here for a complete list of Toyox\u2019s low-elution\/low-odor silicone rubber hoses.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group p-single-cm__block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading c-h3-icon--plus l-heading-level-3\"><strong>Polyolefin resin<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hoses made of polyolefin resin feature minimal odor and little elution, minimizing the causes of odor transfer.
