  • Publication number: 20060014011
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multilayer structure with controlled permeability to hydrocarbons, comprising at least one inner polymer layer (6) and at least one outer layer (5) comprising a mixture of polymer material and of fillers. The fillers are mineral and selected to adsorb and to trap an amount of hydrocarbons released through said inner layer so as to reduce the permeability of the structure. Application to the manufacture of fuel tanks or lines.

  • Publication number: 20060013973
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising a mixture of polymer material (4) and of mineral fillers (5) allowing to obtain a sealing barrier to hydrocarbons. The mixture comprises a predetermined proportion of specific mineral fillers for adsorption of all or part of the hydrocarbons that pass through the material by permeability. The proportion is determined depending on the permeability of the polymer material. The invention also relates to its applications to hydrocarbon tanks (gasoline, diesel oil, solvents) for example for motor vehicles, or hydrocarbon-carrying lines.
