Abstract
Cold impact-resistant tubing especially useful as a fuel line for motor vehicles which is stable in length, has a brief thermal overload capacity, and consists of at least three layers of at least two different mutually compatible polyamides. The tubing also preferably has an internal and an external layer of impact resistance-modified polyamide, with or without a plasticizer, and a barrier between the layers of impact resistance modifier-free homopolyamide, copolyamide or blends thereof.
Claims16
A tube for conveying motor vehicle engine fuel comprising three layers having a combined thickness, said three layers including a barrier, an external layer and an internal layer, each of said three layers are made of polyamides where at least two of the polyamides are different and mutually compatible materials, said internal and external layers are of impact resistance-modified polyamide, and said barrier is a polyamide having substantially no impact resistance modifier.
