  • Patent number: 11951718
    Abstract: Provided is a laminate that has excellent low-temperature impact resistance and bursting pressure strength at high temperatures despite having a thick modified polyolefin layer.

  • Patent number: 11518155
    Abstract: This is to provide a multilayer tube excellent in interlayer adhesiveness and durability thereof while maintaining various characteristics such as low temperature impact resistance, bursting pressure strength and flexibility. In a multilayer tube having at least two kinds of layers and the both layers are adjacent to each other, an aliphatic polyamide composition constituting one of the layers contains an aliphatic polyamide having a ratio of a number of methylene groups to a number of amide groups of a specific value or more and a copolymerized polyamide having a specific unit, and an elastomeric polymer which may contain a constitutional unit derived from an unsaturated compound having a carboxyl group(s) and/or an acid anhydride group(s).
