  • Publication number: 20070051418
    Abstract: The invention described relates to a composition for a multilayer tube having an inner and an outer layer. Preferably the inner layer of the tube has at least one at least partially crosslinked, preferably polyethylene, which is less flexible than the adjacent more flexible outer layer, which is preferably a thermoplastic elastomer. The inner and outer layers are typically coextruded during manufacture, with at least one overmolded end, preferably crosslinked, which generally has an internal diameter which is essentially the same as the internal diameter of the multilayer tube. The multilayer tube is typically crosslinked, preferably by electron beam.
