| · | Spirstar, through the Synflex brand, has been designing high pressure subsea hoses for over 25 years | 
|---|---|
| · | In early years, Synflex was the first to invent thermo-plastic hose and have been producing them for over 40 years | 
| · | Full range of hose pressures and sizes and materials - Hoses up to 15,000 psi, ID to 2', continuous lengths over 13,000 ft long | 
| · | Leading edge materials and design | 
| · | Spirstar is constantly researching new materials and developing new hose and tubing with cutting edge capabilities such as:- fluoropolymer lined core tube - fire resistant extruded jacket - 15,000 psi working pressures | 
|---|---|
| · | Multi-layer extrusion can solve many of the application problems, such as chemical permeation, that are encountered today | 
                                        
                                        | · | Extensive extrusion and reinforcement processes | 
|---|---|
| · | These processes are mature with substantial expertise embedded in the plant | 
| · | Large cabling equipment for the production of control hose bundles | 
| · | Bundling equipment is capable of 6' OD bundles and lengths over 10,000 ft | 
| · | Spirstar is world class in the design and production of hose fittings and couplings | 
|---|---|
| · | A wide array of designs are available along with the tooling needed to apply them | 
| · | Custom design capabilities are also available along with a wide choice of materials, from stainless steel to duplex, and titanium | 
                                    | · | Low tension planetary cabling equipment can produce 10,000 ft bundles, eliminating internal torque | 
|---|---|
| · | Low torque results in stable, less 'jumpy" bundles | 
| · | Bundles are produced with hose, wire, optic fiber, and strength member combinations | 
| · | Capable of bundles up to 6" OD and over 10,000 ft | 
| · | Hose bundles can be delivered on spools or deployment reels and as complete turnkey systems | 
| · | Testing equipment available for standard quality checks as well as API 17E qualification | 
|---|---|
| · | Pressure tests, cleanliness certification, cold temp, bend radius tests are among a few critical tests that are performed in the plant (pressure capability to 40k Ibs) | 
| · | Other testing requirements are available through the wide Spirstar network of service providers | 
| · | Control bundle turnkey systems are available | 
|---|---|
| · | Hydraulic flying lead turnkey systems are available | 
| · | Global availability of turnkey system |
