  • Publication number: 20090188578
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multilayer tube comprising, in its radial direction from the outside inwards: a polyamide outer layer (1); an inner layer (2) of a composition comprising, the total being 100%, 5 to 30% by weight of a blend (A) comprising: a polyethylene carrying epoxy functional groups, an impact modifier chosen from elastomers and very low-density polyethylenes, the said impact modifier being completely or partly functionalized; 95 to 70% by weight of a blend (B) comprising: a fluoropolymer (B1), a functionalized fluoropolymer (B2), the proportion of (B2) being between 1 and 80% by weight of (A)+(B), the layers being successive and adhering to one another in their respective contact region. The inner layer is the layer in contact with the fluid being transported. The layer (2) may be conductive. It is also possible to place a polyamide layer (3) beside the layer (2), which layer becomes the inner layer.

  • Patent number: 7063873
    Abstract: A multiplayer tube comprising: an outer layer formed from a polyamide, a layer formed from a copolyamide, a layer formed from an EVOH, a layer formed from a copolyamide, and an inner layer formed from a polyamide, the layers being successive and adhering to one another in their respective contact region. Advantageously, the inner layer is formed by a compound based on a polyamide and electrically conducting carbon black, producing a surface resistivity of less than 106 ?. The tubes have a very low permeability to petrol, particularly to hydrocarbons and their additives, and in particular to alcohols, such as methanol and ethanol, or to ethers, such as MTBE or ETBE. These tubes also have good resistance to engine lubricating oils as well as fuels.

  • Publication number: 20060057391
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a structure successively comprising: a layer of barrier polymer, a tie layer comprising, the total being 100%: 1 to 80% of at least one polyethylene carrying epoxy functional groups, 99 to 20% of at least one viscous polymer compatible with the polyethylene carrying epoxy functional groups, a polyethylene layer, and optionally another tie layer and a layer of barrier polymer, the layers adhering in their respective contact zones. This structure is of use in preparing devices for the storage or transfer of fluids, in particular in motor vehicles. The invention also relates to these devices. These devices can be pipes, tanks, bottles or containers in which the layer of barrier polymer is in contact with the stored or transported fluid. These structures can comprise other layers composed of other materials.
