Static conductive and antistatic industrial hoses for ATEX environments

EC and AS hoses with original accessories for safe transport, extraction and handling of materials in explosive atmospheres.

We supply ATEX hoses, antistatic hoses, electrically conductive hoses, as well as extraction and ventilation hoses for industrial, process and production applications.

EC Hoses – electrically conductive

EC hoses are designed for process environments where even small static discharges can create an explosion hazard. “EC” stands for Electric Conductive – the hose material is fully conductive with a surface resistance below 10⁴ Ω according to ISO 8031 and TRGS 727.

The built-in conductivity means that no internal copper wire is required to ensure electrical continuity. This results in a more robust, lighter and more reliable installation, while reducing the risk of damage and assembly errors.
EC hoses are typically used in ATEX zones 20, 21 and 22, where the requirements for electrostatic discharge and documented continuity are particularly strict.

EC hoses are widely used as electrically conductive industrial hoses for powder transport, process ventilation, and as ATEX hoses in food, pharmaceutical and chemical production.

AS Hoses – antistatic

AS hoses are used in environments where static electricity may occur, but where the risk of ignition is lower than in true ATEX zones.
“AS” stands for Antistatic – these hoses have a controlled surface resistance below 10⁹ Ω, which limits the build-up of static electricity and allows it to dissipate slowly through the hose material.

They are typically used in zone 22 or in process installations handling materials such as flour, plastic granulate, paper dust and wood dust.
AS hoses are therefore a safe and cost-effective choice in applications where fully conductive EC hoses are not required, but where documented discharge and proper grounding are still necessary.

They are used as antistatic industrial hoses and antistatic extraction hoses in zone 22, as well as antistatic hoses in many types of extraction and conveying systems

Hose accessories

Choose original accessories from NORRES and BAGGERMAN to ensure the correct fit and full electrical continuity in your EC and AS installations.
The range includes couplings, sleeves, adapters and hose clamps, as well as a wide selection of industrial connectors such as Tri-Clamp, dairy fittings, Storz, Kamlok, and more.

All components are tested according to TRGS 727 and ISO 8031, and can be supplied in conductive plastic, aluminium, brass or stainless steel.
Accessories can be combined with factory-mounted hose assemblies, providing a complete and reliable solution for the food, pharmaceutical and process industries, as well as ATEX areas.

The accessory range also includes ATEX couplings, antistatic couplings and conductive clamps for proper grounding.

OEM solutions – fully assembled hoses

We supply complete hose solutions to machine manufacturers throughout the EU.

Our OEM customers receive hoses, couplings and accessories fully assembled and factory-tested, so the components can be integrated directly into their production without any additional adjustment. This saves assembly time, ensures consistent quality, and provides documented electrical continuity – especially in ATEX-classified installations.

We work closely with both designers and technicians to adapt lengths, materials and coupling types to each specific machine or process.
OEM solutions can be labelled, packaged and documented according to the customer’s own specifications, ready for installation on the production line.

The OEM solutions include EC and AS industrial hoses, ATEX hoses, and custom-built hoses for machine manufacturers.

Know your Ohm, know your risk

You’ve probably experienced it: on a dry winter’s day, you touch a door handle – and get a shock of static electricity on your fingers

Areas of application

The hoses are used in woodworking, CNC production, food and pharmaceutical processes, the chemical industry, plastic and 3D printing facilities, as well as by OEM customers and machine builders.
We help you choose the right hose for the process, ATEX zone and handled medium.

The hoses are also used for dust extraction, process ventilation, granulate transport, and as flexible extraction hoses in ATEX zones.

Materials

Our EC and AS hoses are manufactured from PUR, PVC, PE, EPDM, silicone, rubber and metal — selected based on the medium, temperature, abrasion level and zone requirements.
They can be customised for specific process conditions and supplied with documentation for electrical properties, temperature resistance and chemical resistance.

This includes PUR hoses, PVC hoses, PE hoses and metal hoses, available in both antistatic and electrically conductive versions.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions

EC hoses (Electric Conductive) are electrically conductive, with a surface resistance below 10⁴ Ω, and they dissipate static electricity directly through the hose material.

AS hoses (Antistatic) have a higher resistance (below 10⁹ Ω) and limit the build-up of static electricity, but they are not fully conductive.

EC hoses are used in process environments with a high risk of ignition, including ATEX zones 20, 21 and 22.

AS hoses are typically used in zone 22 or in areas with a lower explosion risk.

With EC hoses, this is usually not necessary, as the hose material itself is conductive and ensures electrical continuity.

With AS hoses, an internal copper wire may be required to achieve proper grounding — depending on the design of the installation.

EC and AS hoses are manufactured from PUR, PVC, PE, EPDM, silicone, rubber and metal, selected according to the medium, temperature, abrasion and zone requirements.

Items in stock can be shipped quickly, typically with next-day delivery.
Special solutions require a longer lead time.

Our products and guidance are based on ISO 8031, TRGS 727, ATEX 2014/34/EU and 1999/92/EC, DIN 26057 Type 2, as well as RoHS and REACH.
For dust-filled explosive atmospheres, we refer to EN 17348:2022.

The price depends on the diameter, length, material (PUR, PVC, PE or metal), and whether the hose is delivered as an EC or AS version.
