Abstract

A unitary tubular product having an inner layer and an outer layer connected together by a bi-planar mesh formed of helical ribs bonded at their cross-over points is produced in a single coaxial tubular extrusion process, the structure being integrally or confluently extruded. The extruder die head has annular flow channels having closely-spaced die grooves.
