Abstract
The invention relates to a composite tubular article consisting of a vulcanized elastomer containing carboxylic acid or dicarboxylic acid anhydride functional groups, which is used in combination with a thermoplastic elastomer containing polyamide blocks. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of such articles, characterized in that a tube consisting of an outer layer of thermoplastic elastomer containing polyamide blocks and optionally an inner layer consisting of a thermoplastic with good liquid-barrier property is sheathed by extrusion at an appropriate temperature of an elastomeric composition comprising a synthetic or natural elastomer containing carboxylic acid or dicarboxylic acid anhydride functional groups, a crosslinking system and optionally various adjuvants and fillers, in that the composite tubular article obtained is vulcanized, preferably at a temperature of between -5.degree. C. and +30.degree. C. in relation to the Vicat point of the said thermoplastic elastomer containing polyamide blocks. This process produces composite tubular articles exhibiting excellent properties, particularly of flexibility and of peel strength of the outer layer. The …
