  • Pipe for the air intake circuit of a motor vehicle engine, and circuit incorporating the same
    Patent number: 8449961
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pipe usable for an air intake circuit of a motor vehicle engine, and to this air intake circuit in particular for the intake of air at the outlet of a turbocompressor that comprises at least one such pipe. This pipe (1) comprises at least one inner elastomer layer (10), one outer elastomer layer (16), one intermediate elastomer layer (12) and one reinforcing structure (14) which is situated between the intermediate and outer layers and which comprises yarns based on an aliphatic polyester, such as a PET, each intermediate and outer layer being formed from a composition based on at least one acrylate copolymer (ACM). According to the invention, said composition is crosslinked by means of a system chosen from the group consisting of those based on at least one soap combined with sulfur, with a urea derivative and those based on a thiadiazole.
