<p>An annular sealing body 2, 12 of a thermoplastic elastomer is physically bonded to a plastic pipe body 1;11:4,5,6 consisting e.g. of a pipe part 1, or a retaining ring 11 or socket pipe 4, 5, 6 by injection moulding the elastomer onto the thermoplastic material of the pipe part 1, retaining ring 11 or socket pipe 4, 5, 6. The thermoplastic elastomer contains a portion based on a thermoplastic polymer being compatible with the thermoplastic material of the plastic pipe body 1, 11. Preferably the plastic pipe body 1, 11 consists of a polyolefin, e.g. polypropylene or polyethylene and the thermoplastic elastomer of a continuous phase of polypropylene incorporating cross-linked ethylenepropylenediene rubber or of a polystyrene-polyethylenepropylene-polystyrene rubber. The intimate connection between the sealing body 2, 12 and the pipe body 1; 11: 4, 5, 6 is formed by an interfusion of the sealing body surface and the opposite surface of the pipe body 1; 11: 4, 5, 6. The retaining ring 11 is provided with means for forming a snap fit connection with a socket 4, 5, 6.</p> |
