A Canadian customer recently completed a 6-month field test of 1,000 meters of our TPU drag hose, and the result is clear: high abrasion resistance, long lasting performance, and great value. The customer is now discussing larger orders.

Preliminary Order: 1,000 Meters Test

The customer purchased 1,000 meters of TPU drag hose for agricultural irrigation. They reported that the hose is lightweight, easy to drag across fields, and very flexible even during early spring operations.

Why They Chose Our Hose

The price is significantly lower than many other products with comparable quality in the Canadian market. While competitors focused on promoting high prices with marginal performance claims, this customer wisely chose to conduct a practical test with a 1,000-meter order first rather than overpaying for unverified brand premiums.

Six Months of Field Use

According to the customer‘s feedback after half a year of operation:

  • The TPU drag hose shows excellent abrasion resistance after dragging over stubble and uneven ground.

  • No visible surface wear or leaks have been observed.

  • The hose has been used continuously since purchase and is still in good working condition.

  • The estimated service life is significantly longer than typical PVC or rubber hoses used for similar field irrigation applications.

Next Steps

The customer has already reached out to discuss new collaboration. A larger quantity order is under negotiation for the upcoming growing season.

About Our TPU Drag Hose

TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) drag hose is considered the most abrasion-resistant elastomeric material available, with TPU cover offering four to five times better abrasion resistance than conventional nitrile rubber hoses and significantly outperforming PVC in longevity.

Our TPU layflat hose remains flexible and does not harden or become brittle even at -50°C, making it ideal for the variable climate conditions experienced across Canadian agricultural regions.
