Abstract
A flexible conduit for coolant having a high bursting pressure above 8 bar at 100.degree. C. and high hydrolysis resistance comprising an outer layer of a material selected from the group consisting of homopolyamides, copolyamides and mixtures thereof with an excess of amino terminal groups, a non-swelling inner layer made of a material selected from the group consisting of non-halogenated copolyolefins, non-halogenated homopolyolefins and mixtures thereof and a middle layer compatible with the inner and outer layers made of a homopolyolefin or a copolyolefin with grafted functional groups, the layers being coextruded and corrugated during coextrusion.
