About Resistoflex Hoses

Resistoflex was born of the need for improved hoses on aircraft during World War II. New polymers and processes led to performance breakthroughs with PVA hoses, and subsequently, with PTFE in the early 1950's. Resistoflex fitting innovations, such as the revolutionary DynaTube® beam seal fitting greatly enhanced the reliability of fuel and hydraulic systems. Resistoflex Aerospace, part of the Crane Aerospace group, remains a major supplier in the commercial and military aerospace industries. This 60 year legacy of problem solving and innovation also applies to the process industries and results in the industries most diverse range of hoses.
