Abstract: A lined hose has a hot melt adhesive bond between the thermoplastic liner and the outer thermoplastic fabric casing. The method of making this lined hose assembly includes the steps of extruding a tubular thermoplastic liner, applying hot melt adhesive to the liner, cooling and flattening the liner with adhesive, inserting the liner with adhesive into a hose casing, and bonding the liner to the thermoplastic casing by applying heat to melt and activate the adhesive and pressure to form the adhesive bond.
Abstract: A thermoplastic adhesive composition that is particularly suitable for use as a hot melt adhesive is disclosed that comprises at least about 10% by weight of a polyether-based thermoplastic polyurethane and another component selected from the group consisting of: (A) a polyamide formed by the condensation of a compound of the formulaYN<Z>NHwhere Z is selected from the group consisting of ##STR1## where R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl groups having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and R.sub.1 is a divalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group having at least 1 carbon atom, Y is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, R'NH.sub.
