Hose covers
Bell Plastics’ UHMWPE films have a smooth, slippery surface, high toughness and outstanding wear resistance, making them an ideal choice for protective outer coverings on all types of hoses, from large industrial hoses to compact hydraulic hoses.Hose linings
Our UHMWPE’s high resistance to a wide range of chemicals and solvents make them an excellent choice for lining industrial fluid transport hoses. And with their very low odor, food approval and ability to withstand steam sterilization, many of our UHMWPE films are suitable for food, beverage and pharmaceutical hose applications.Why Choose UHMWPE from Bell Plastics?
We are experts in UHMWPE
Bell Plastics was a pioneer of the introduction of UHMWPE to the rubber hose industry in the 1990’s, first for hose linings alongside our XLPE sheet, and later for hose covers.Our application support
With our extensive product knowledge and many years’ experience of the use of this exciting material in the rubber hose industry, we offer our customers detailed technical advice and support on how to use our UHMWPE films, and how to get the best results.Our materials
We only use premium-grade, Ticona GUR® UHMWPE resin for our UHMWPE films. With molecular weights of 5 million g/mol, these ensure all our UHMWPE grades offer excellent chemical and abrasion resistance – don’t accept lower-weight alternatives!Product range
Our wide range of films means we probably have one to suit your application, and we can supply it at very competitive prices!

Natural - Translucent
Our natural UHMWPE film is more wear-resistant than steel, has very low friction, and resists a very wide range of chemicals. Ideal for industrial and food hose linings and can be used for wear-resistant covers.
Natural - UV resistant
A natural film containing added UV-stabilizer for longer life in outdoor applications than our standard natural film. For highest UV resistance, we recommend our black grades.
Black - UV resistant
All the advantages of our natural UHMWPE, with a small amount of carbon to make it black in color. The carbon provides excellent UV-resistance, making this material preferred for hose covers.
Black - Conductive
Contains a higher percentage of very finely dispersed carbon than our standard black, making the film electrically conductive. For use in applications where static dissipation is required.
Extra conductive
A specially-developed film with carefully-designed UHMWPE and carbon particle sizes and concentrations, giving extremely high electrical conductivity for demanding applications.
White
As for our natural film, but with an opaque white color. FDA-approved, like most of our films, this film is ideal for many food, beverage and pharmaceutical uses.
Colored
We can offer a range of hundreds of colors with the same basic properties as our natural film, in order to meet your exact esthetic requirements or to distinguish your product in the market place.
