Why this hose?

AIRDUC® PE 362 EC (MD) is one of the broadest ATEX-marked hoses in the manufacturer's range. It covers gas (Zone 0, 1, 2), dust (Zone 20, 21, 22) and flammable liquids (Zone 0, 1, 2 inside). It's a rare combination — most ATEX hoses cover only gas or only dust.

Polyethylene is chosen because PE has one of the broadest chemical resistances among thermoplastics — particularly against organic acids, bases and solvents at operating temperatures. The very low resistance (<10³ Ω) is conductive-grade, not just antistatic.

Safety The hose's broad ATEX approval requires correct grounding. Read our article "The invisible weakest link" for practical guidance.

Where it is used

In chemical industry the hose typically sits on multi-medium installations where the medium can alternate between vapours, particles and liquids. The broad ATEX approval means the same hose type can be used across multiple process steps without changing.

In mining it's particularly suited for underground applications where flammable dust (coal dust, mineral dust) is a constant risk. Conductivity at the +<10³ Ω level is the required level for the most challenging ATEX zones.

In everyday talk we call it a "PE EC" or "conductive PE" — it's the all-round ATEX hose in the AIRDUC family.

Industries that use it

AIRDUC® PE 362 EC (MD) is specialised for the broadest ATEX applications:

In chemical and petrochemical it covers most ATEX-relevant applications — from gas and vapours to flammable liquids and dust. This means a single hose type can cover multi-medium process facilities.

In mining it's standard on underground extraction and transport installations where flammable dust and gases can both be present.

Custom lengths and assemblies

The hose is delivered on 10 m and 20 m rolls. We cut to length and fit ATEX-approved couplings and correct grounding.

For specific ATEX facilities we can advise on coupling systems that maintain zone approval.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between AIRDUC® PE 362 EC and standard ATEX hoses?

Standard ATEX hoses typically cover either only gas (e.g. Zone 1·2) or only dust (e.g. Zone 22). PE 362 EC covers BOTH gas (Zone 0·1·2) AND dust (Zone 20·21·22) AND flammable liquids (Zone 0·1·2). It's one of the broadest ATEX approvals in the range.

What is Zone 0?

The highest classification for explosive gas atmospheres — continuously or for long periods present. The hose is approved for transport inside Zone 0, which is rare.

Does it tolerate flammable liquids like petrol?

Yes, the ATEX approval covers flammable liquids inside Zone 0, 1, 2. The PE material's broad chemical resistance also covers most organic fuels at operating temperatures.

Does the hose need to be grounded?

Yes, ALWAYS. The broad ATEX approval requires correct grounding at both ends — especially important when transporting flammable liquids where high-energy static can trigger ignition.

How broad is the chemical resistance?

Polyethylene is chemically inactive toward most organic acids (sulfuric acid up to medium concentration), bases, salts and aqueous solutions at operating temperatures. For specific aggressive media (especially oxidising or halogenated) the material should be cross-checked against the resistance table.

Can I get it with ATEX-approved couplings?

Yes. We fit ATEX-compliant couplings with correct grounding — important for the entire system to maintain zone approval.
