Polymeric pipes and liners suitable for transporting oil and gas materials and made from blends of polyolefins and polyamides

摘要

A pipe or liner for use in the oil and gas industry that comprises a melt-mixed bend of polyamide and incompatible polyolefin and a compatibilizing agent where the polyamide exists as a discontinuous phase that is dispersed in a polyolefin matrix. The pipe or liner has enhanced resistance to the permeation of hydrocarbons relative to polyethylene.
