Abstract
The invention relates to a thermoplastic composition for a monolayer tube (T1, T2), and particularly to an air-conditioning circuit for a motor vehicle comprising tubes transporting a refrigerating fluid. The composition comprises in weight fractions: more than 20% and up to 40% of a PA 6.10 and/or a PA 6.12, from 45% to less than 60% of a polyphthalamide having a Tg higher than 120° C. and selected from PA 6.I/6.T, PA 9.T, PA 10.T, PA 10.T/X, and from 10% to 20% of a compatibilizing system comprising a reaction product between (a) a polymer of olefin comprising an unsaturated epoxide and (b) a polymer of olefin comprising an unsaturated carboxylic acid, with weight ratio (a):(b) greater than 1.
Claims20
A thermoplastic composition capable of forming a monolayer tube for transporting a fluid,
- wherein the thermoplastic composition comprises in weight fractions:
- more than 20% and up to 40% of a PA 6.10 and/or a PA 6.12 as at least one aliphatic polyamide,
- from 45% to less than 60% of at least one polyphthalamide having a glass transition temperature higher than 120° C. and selected from the group consisting of PA 6.I/6.T, PA 9.T, PA 10.T, PA 10.T/X, where X represents at least one polyamide unit other than PA 10.T derived from an aliphatic diamine having from 6 to 9 carbon atoms and from an aromatic dicarboxylic acid comprising terephthalic or isophthalic acid, and
- from 10% to 20% of a compatibilizing system comprising a product of a reaction between (a) a polymer of at least one first olefin comprising an unsaturated epoxide and (b) a polymer of at least one second olefin comprising an unsaturated carboxylic acid, with a weight ratio (a):(b) greater than 1, said at least one second olefin being identical to or different from said at least one first olefin.
