  • Publication number: 20230151909
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multilayer tubular structure (MLT) intended for the transport of fluids, in particular of petrol, especially alcohol-containing petrol, comprising, from the outside inwards, at least one barrier layer (1) and at least one inner layer (2) located below the barrier layer, said inner layer (2), or all the layers (2) and the other optional layers located below the barrier layer, containing on average from 0 to 1.5% by weight of plasticizer relative to the total weight of the composition of the layer (2) or to the total weight of all the compositions of the layers (2) and the other optional layers located below the barrier layer, respectively, said inner layer (2) predominantly comprising at least one polyamide of aliphatic type or consisting of more than 75% of aliphatic units, said aliphatic polyamide being chosen from: a polyamide denoted A, having a mean number of carbon atoms per nitrogen atom, denoted CA, of from 4 to 8.

  • Patent number: 11339899
    Abstract: A multilayer tubular structure (MLT) for transport of alcohol-containing petrol. The MLT from the outside inwards has at least one barrier layer and at least one inner layer located below the barrier layer. The inner layer, or all the layers contain on average at most 1.5% of plasticizer relative to the total weight of the composition of each layer or to the total weight of all the compositions of the layers. The inner layer is predominantly made of at least one polyamide having more than 75% aliphatic units. The aliphatic polyamide has a mean number of carbon atoms per nitrogen atom selected from the following: A: from 4 to 8.5; B: from 7 to 10; C: from 9 to 18; with the proviso that when the inner layer comprises at least three polyamides, at least one of the polyamides A, B and C is excluded.

  • Patent number: 11161319
    Abstract: A multilayer tubular structure MLT intended for the transport of petrol. The MLT has at least one inner barrier layer and at least one outer layer located above the barrier layer. All the layers located above the barrier layer contain from 0 to 5% of plasticizer relative to the total weight of the composition of the layer. The outer layer is predominantly at least one aliphatic polyamide. The polyamide(s) has a number of carbon atoms per nitrogen atom selected from the following: A, from 4 to 8.5; B, from 7 to 10; C, from 9 to 18; with the proviso that when the outer layer comprises at least three polyamides, at least one of the polyamides A, B and C is excluded.

  • Patent number: 10914408
    Abstract: Provided is a method of determining whether a multilayer tubular structure (MLT) satisfies an extractables test by filling the multilayer tubular structure MLT with an alcohol-containing petrol of FAM B type to obtain a filled MLT and measuring the amount of extractable material. The MLT satisfies the extractables test when the residue of the filtrate is less than or equal to 6 g/m2 of the inner surface area of the MLT.
