Abstract
A multi-layer tubing for use in fluid transport applications. The tubing is suitable for conveying fluids containing hydrocarbons. The tubing comprises an extrudable adhesive layer of multi-phase polymer blends or alloys which is coextruded around a permeation-resistant layer of fluoropolymer. An outer layer of foamed polyamide is coextruded around the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer of polymer blends or alloys has a multi-phase morphology wherein one phase is miscible with the fluoropolymer for forming the permeation-resistant layer and another phase is miscible with the polyamide for forming the foamed outer layer.
