Abstract
The abrasion resistant hose of the present invention comprises an inner layer mainly formed with a thermoplastic polyurethane resin, an outer protective layer comprising a soft vinyl chloride resin united with the inner layer by thermal-fusion, and a spiral reinforcement comprising a hard synthetic resin buried in or attached to the outer protective layer. The inner layer is formed with a thermoplastic polyurethane resin containing substantially no migratory plasticizer or an internally-plasticized thermoplastic polyurethane resin (i.e., a thermoplastic polyurethane resin which is not externally-plasticized with a migratory plasticizer). The outer protective layer is formed with a soft vinyl chloride resin containing substantially no migratory plasticizer, united with the inner layer by fusion. An intermediate layer comprising a soft vinyl chloride resin containing no migratory plasticizer may be interposed between the inner layer and the outer protective layer. According to the present invention, there is provided a pressure-proof synthetic resin hose featuring excellent abrasion resistance, bending durability, and others, which does not suffer the contraction phenomenon caused by the bleed or migration of a conventional plasticizer.
