  • Patent number: 8383218
    Abstract: Multi-layer composites, particularly thermoplastic composites, in form of an extruded hollow section, e.g. tubes or hoses for liquid fuel lines, include a thermoplastic outer layer and at least one further layer, wherein the outer layer is formed by a mixture based on (A) 80 to 20 parts by weight of at least one polyamide (PA) and (B) 20 to 80 parts by weight of at least one polyamide elastomer (TPE-A), of polyether amides, polyester amides, polyether ester amides, polyether ester ether amides or mixtures thereof, wherein the sum of (A) and (B) is 100 parts by weight, the hollow section being produced at extrusion speeds, of over 20 m/min, so that the produced hollow section has an elongation at break, of over 200%, wherein the elongation at break has been measured at the finished hollow section according to DIN EN ISO 527-2.

  • Patent number: 8138259
    Abstract: The invention relates to a housing from a polyamide molding compound containing 70 to 99.5% by weight of at least one thermoplastic polyamide and 0.5 to 30% by weight of at least one polyamide oligomer with linear or branched chain structure with a number average molar mass of 800 to 5000 g/mol with basic end groups which are at least partially NH2 end groups, and carboxyl end groups, one of these end groups being present in excess and the concentration of the end group present in excess being at most 300 mmol/kg.

  • Publication number: 20110293868
    Abstract: The invention relates to thermoplastic polyamide moulding compositions containing: (A) at least 20% by wt. polyamide and/or at least one copolymer containing at least 20% by wt. polyamide structural units; (B) 0.01% by wt. to 2% by wt., relative to the polyamide portion and/or the portion of polyamide structural units, of the composition of a copper-containing stabiliser; and (C) 0.01% by wt. to 3% by wt., relative to the polyamide portion and/or the portion of polyamide structural units of the composition, of at least one organic compound containing metal complexing groups, so that the copper ions are present in complexed form through binding to the metal-complexing groups. These moulding compositions may be used as coating material for coolant lines.

  • Publication number: 20050136205
    Abstract: A thermoplastic multilayer composite comprising at least one first layer comprising a fluoropolymer, and also of at least one other second layer, at least some regions of which have direct contact with the first layer. This multilayer composite achieves surprisingly excellent adhesion between the two layers, because the second layer is comprising polyamide-polyamine copolymers. This second layer may particularly advantageously be used as an adhesion-promoter layer in relation to a further, third layer, which, by way of example, is comprising polyamide. In the form of a hollow body or hollow profile, this structure comprising at least 3 layers can preferably be used as fuel piping in the motor vehicle sector.
