Hose coated with high molecular weight polyethylene and process for the production thereof.

摘要

The invention relates to a hose of which at least the inside or the outside is coated with a layer of polyethylene bonded direct to an elastomeric layer, which polyethylene has a weight-average molecular weight of more than 0.5 x 10<6> kg/kmole and which layer of polyethylene has been obtained by clearing a layer of polyethylene gel of solvent, and also to a process for preparing such a hose. Possible applications of such a hose are, for instance, those of which the inside and/or the outside of the hose are exposed to the effects of chemical substances and/or of substances with a highly abrasive effect, also at low temperatures.
