摘要 |
A coolant conduit which is an elongate tubular article for an apparatus requiring cooling by a cooling agent, such as an engine, for example, an internal combustion engine, includes a plurality of layers which are provided by sequential coextrusion thereof and which are adjoined thereby, each layer of the plurality being comprised of a polymeric material which is thermoplastically processable. The plurality of layers may include an inner layer which is composed of a polymeric material which is substantially inert to cooling agent and which is substantially non-swelling, and an outer layer which is composed of at least one polyamide and which is pressure resistant. The coolant conduit may include a plurality of longitudinal sections, and at least one layer of the plurality of layers may then be composed of a polymeric material which differs between longitudinal sections thereof as is made possible by sequential coextrusion thereof.
