The porthole extruded and Precision Drawn aluminium Tube with PA 12 coating is a highly refined quality product characterized by the following properties:
• Low weight
• Easily bent and formed
• Excellent corrosion resistance
• High strength welding of plastic parts to coating
• Narrow tolerances
• High surface quality
• Stone impact resistance
• Internal cleanliness
• Full traceability
All the mentioned properties combined with the PA 12 coating result in a product with exceptional corrosion and stone impact resistance properties. The HYCOT™/® tube will not chip, peel or flake under the wide range of exposures and service conditions found in the modern automotive industry. The inner side of the HYCOT™/® tube is unique as well, since it is 100% free of particles. Furthermore, all HYCOT™/® tubes are traceable as they are all script identified with dimension and Lot no. The HYCOT™/® tube is available in multiple colours. An unique feature of the coating is the easy welding to plastic parts, e.g.brackets, connectors, protection hoses. This allows for designing very cost effective systems based on simple and clean processes, without any need for further corrosion protection. Typical welding methods are ultrasonic, spin friction and induction welding.
The HYCOT™/® products are primarily used for the following applications:
• Fuel lines
• Air condition lines
• Power steering lines
• Power steering coolers
• Hydraulic lines
• Oil cooling systems
• Water coolant tubes
• Clutch tubes
Within this range there are certain limits depending on the alloy and the ratio between OD and WT. Based on many years of experience, Hydro Aluminium Precision Tubing is in the position to be a competent, co-operative partner starting at the product development stage. This often results in reduced development costs and a competitive end product with higher quality. Our size and alloy product offer is customized to regional market requirements.
