Abstract
A layered tubing for use in a motor vehicle has five layers, namely a thick tubular outer layer formed of a Nylon 11 or Nylon 12, a thick tubular intermediate layer of Nylon 6, a thin tubular intermediate bonding layer between and bonded to the thick outer and intermediate layers and formed of polyethylene or polypropylene, a thin tubular intermediate solvent-blocking layer inside the thick layers and formed of a copolymer of ethylene and vinylalcohol, and an inner layer of Nylon 6 inside the blocking layer. The thick outer and intermediate layers each have a thickness of between 0.2 mm and 0.7 mm. The thin intermediate blocking layer comprises by weight 30% to 45% polyethylene and the intermediate blocking layer has a thickness of between 0.1 mm and 0.2 mm. The inner layer has a thickness of at most 0.1 to 0.5 mm and the bonding layer has active side chains of maleic acid anhydride and a thickness of between 0.05 mm and 0.2 mm.
