A conduit, particularly flexible conduit comprises an inner tubular housing, at least one reinforcing layer at least partially disposed around the inner housing, an outer protective sheath at least partially disposed around the at least one reinforcing layer, and optionally a thermally insulating layer disposed between the at least one reinforcing layer and the outer protective sheath. At least one of the outer protective sheath and the thermally insulating layer comprises a thermoplastic vulcanizate composition.

Thermoplastic vulcanizate conduits for transporting hydrocarbon fluids

A thermoplastic polymer blend having improved impact performance includes from about 50 wt % to about 98 wt % polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a polymeric toughening agent and a compatibilizer. The compatibilizer is a functionalized polyolefin, a thermoplastic copolymer or a thermoplastic terpolymers. The ratio of wt % compatibilizer to wt % polymeric toughening agent, based on the total weight of the thermoplastic polymer blend, is from about 0.1 to about 0.4.

Polyolefin-based elastomer modified polyethylene terephthalate blends with enhanced notched impact strength

Provided are methods for producing a thermoplastic vulcanizate and thermoplastic vulcanizates provided therein. The method includes introducing vulcanizable rubber, thermoplastic resin, a masterbatch of a propylene-based elastomer and a cure accelerator for a phenolic resin curative to the reactor, and phenolic resin curative to a reactor and dynamically vulcanizing the rubber with the phenolic resin curative in the presence of the cure accelerator and the thermoplastic resin.
