A leak detection system for a high-temperature aerospace fluid duct may include a rigid metal fluid duct, an electrically conductive polymer disposed around the high-temperature fluid duct, the conductive polymer configured to melt in response to a leak of high-temperature fluid from the high-temperature fluid duct. The system may include a sensor configured to monitor at least one electrical characteristic of the electrically conductive polymer. The system may include a layer of insulation disposed between the electrically conductive polymer and the high-temperature fluid duct.

A layer for directing a hydraulic fluid includes a first fluoropolymer, a first crosslinker, and an anti-static additive. The first fluoropolymer is present in an amount greater than 60 parts by weight, the first crosslinker is present in an amount of from about 1 to about 10 parts by weight, and the anti-static additive is present in an amount of from about 0.4 to about 4 parts by weight, each based on 100 parts by weight of the layer. The layer may be included in a layered tube. In addition to the layer, the layered tube also includes an outer layer. The outer layer includes a second fluoropolymer, which is the same as or different than the first fluoropolymer. The second fluoropolymer is present in an amount greater than 60 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the outer layer.

A method includes premixing an anti-static additive and a first crosslinker to form an anti-static intermediate mixture where the anti-static additive is dispersed in the first crosslinker. The method also includes compounding the anti-static intermediate mixture and at least a portion of the first fluoropolymer to form a first compounded mixture. The method further includes extruding the first compounded mixture to form a layer.
