Description
~ -~ H~1i3 Aktiengesellschaft 21~4~06 o.z. 4719 Patent Department Multila~er ~lastic ~i~e The invention relates to a multilayer plastic pipe comprising an outer layer I. made from a moulding com-position based on a polyamide, and a further layer II., ad~acent to the outer layer, made from a moulding com-position baised on polyvinylidene fluoride.
Plastic pipes made from polyamide are known and are employed for a variety of applications. In order to achieve their ob~ective, the pipes must be, inter alia, inert to ~the medium flowing in them, and must be resis-tant to high and low temperatures and mechanical stresses.
Single-layer pipes are not always capable of satisfying the neces~ary requirements. In the case of transport of, for example, aliphatic or aromatic solvents, fueli3 or the like, they exhibit considerable disadvantages, ~uch as a poor barrier action to the medium, undesired changes in dimension or inadequate resistance to mechanical stresses.
It has been attempted to overcome these disadvantages by means of multilayer pipes (DE-A 35 10 395, 37 15 251, 38 21 723, 40 01 125 and 40 01 126). However, practical implementation of these proposals has shown that, although some disadvantages can be overcome, the overall property profile i8 still unsatisfactory.
French Patent 2 602 515 describes a two-layer pipe comprising an outer layer of nylon 11 and an inner layer of plasticised polyvinylidene fluoride. However, investi-gations have shown that the barrier action to the flowing medium is unsatisfactory.
In particular, permeation of methanol-containing fuels has only been reduced to an inadequate extent by meani3 of ' ji. ' ' - " ' . ' " ' ' .' ~ ' , . .
21~4~06 the abovementioned proposals.
Reduction in permeation by using novel intermediate layers is therefore of crucial lmportance because, in particular, the legally permitted emission values are constantly belng reduced.
The object of the invention was to develop a polyamide pipe having a good barrier action to the transported medium, in particular to methanol-containlng fuels, satisfactory dimensional stability and satisfactory resistance to mechanical stresses. In partlcular, the improvement~ achieved should also be retained at elevated temperatures.
Thus the present invention provides a multilayer plastic pipe comprlslng an outer layer I made from a mouldlng composltion based on a polyamlde, and a layer II adjacent to the outer layer, said layer II made from a moulding composition based on polyvinylidene fluoride, wherein layer II comprises a plasticiser-free polyvinylldene fluorlde having a melt flow index of less than about 14 g/10 min ~mea~ured in accordance with DIN 53 735 at 230C
and a load of 5 kg), and whereln the ratio of the thickness of layer II and the combined thickness of layers I and II. is from about 1-3 to about 1.20.
Suitable polyamides are primarily aliphatic homo- and copolycondensates. Examples which may be mentioned are polyamides ~nylons) 4.6, 6.6, 6.12, 8.10 and 10.10. Preference is given to polyamides 6, 10.12, 11, 12 and 12.12. [The numbering of the polyamldes correspond6 to the internatlonal standard, the first ~ ':

` ' 211~06 - - 3 - O.Z. 4719 If copolyamides are used, these can contain, for example, adipic acid, sebacic acid, suberic acid, i~ophthalic acid or terephthalic acid as co-acid or bis(4~-aminocyclo-hexyl)methane,trimethylhexamethylenediamine,hexamethyl-enediamine or the like as co-diamine.
The preparation of these polyamides is known (for example D. B. Jacobs, J. Zimmermann, Polymerization Processe~, pp. 424-67; Interscienee Publishers, New York (1977);
DE-~ 21 52 194).
Other suitable poly~m~des are mixed aliphatic/aromatic polyeondensates, a~ described, for example, in US Patents 2,07i,250, 2,071,251, 2,130,523, 2,130,948, 2,241,322, 2,312,966, 2,512,606 and 3,393,210, and in Rirk-Othmer, Eneyelopedia of Chemieal Teehnology, 3rd Edn., Vol. 18, pages 328 and 435, Wiley & Sons (1982). Other polyconden-sates whieh are suitable as polyamides are poly(ether ester amides) and poly(ether amides). Products of this type are described, for example, in DE-A 27 12 987, 25 23 991 and 30 06 961.
The moleeular weight (number average) of the polyamides i8 greater than 5,000, preferably greater than 10,000, eorresponding to a relative viseosity (~r~) in the range from 1.9 to 2.4.
The polyamides of the outer layer I. may eontain up to 40 % by weight of other thermoplastie~, 80 long as the latter do not affeet the propertie~ aeeording to the invention.

Plastic pipes made from polyamide are known and are employed for a variety of applications. In order to achieve their ob~ective, the pipes must be, inter alia, inert to ~the medium flowing in them, and must be resis-tant to high and low temperatures and mechanical stresses.
Single-layer pipes are not always capable of satisfying the neces~ary requirements. In the case of transport of, for example, aliphatic or aromatic solvents, fueli3 or the like, they exhibit considerable disadvantages, ~uch as a poor barrier action to the medium, undesired changes in dimension or inadequate resistance to mechanical stresses.
It has been attempted to overcome these disadvantages by means of multilayer pipes (DE-A 35 10 395, 37 15 251, 38 21 723, 40 01 125 and 40 01 126). However, practical implementation of these proposals has shown that, although some disadvantages can be overcome, the overall property profile i8 still unsatisfactory.
French Patent 2 602 515 describes a two-layer pipe comprising an outer layer of nylon 11 and an inner layer of plasticised polyvinylidene fluoride. However, investi-gations have shown that the barrier action to the flowing medium is unsatisfactory.
In particular, permeation of methanol-containing fuels has only been reduced to an inadequate extent by meani3 of ' ji. ' ' - " ' . ' " ' ' .' ~ ' , . .
21~4~06 the abovementioned proposals.
Reduction in permeation by using novel intermediate layers is therefore of crucial lmportance because, in particular, the legally permitted emission values are constantly belng reduced.
The object of the invention was to develop a polyamide pipe having a good barrier action to the transported medium, in particular to methanol-containlng fuels, satisfactory dimensional stability and satisfactory resistance to mechanical stresses. In partlcular, the improvement~ achieved should also be retained at elevated temperatures.
Thus the present invention provides a multilayer plastic pipe comprlslng an outer layer I made from a mouldlng composltion based on a polyamlde, and a layer II adjacent to the outer layer, said layer II made from a moulding composition based on polyvinylidene fluoride, wherein layer II comprises a plasticiser-free polyvinylldene fluorlde having a melt flow index of less than about 14 g/10 min ~mea~ured in accordance with DIN 53 735 at 230C
and a load of 5 kg), and whereln the ratio of the thickness of layer II and the combined thickness of layers I and II. is from about 1-3 to about 1.20.
Suitable polyamides are primarily aliphatic homo- and copolycondensates. Examples which may be mentioned are polyamides ~nylons) 4.6, 6.6, 6.12, 8.10 and 10.10. Preference is given to polyamides 6, 10.12, 11, 12 and 12.12. [The numbering of the polyamldes correspond6 to the internatlonal standard, the first ~ ':

Other suitable poly~m~des are mixed aliphatic/aromatic polyeondensates, a~ described, for example, in US Patents 2,07i,250, 2,071,251, 2,130,523, 2,130,948, 2,241,322, 2,312,966, 2,512,606 and 3,393,210, and in Rirk-Othmer, Eneyelopedia of Chemieal Teehnology, 3rd Edn., Vol. 18, pages 328 and 435, Wiley & Sons (1982). Other polyconden-sates whieh are suitable as polyamides are poly(ether ester amides) and poly(ether amides). Products of this type are described, for example, in DE-A 27 12 987, 25 23 991 and 30 06 961.
The moleeular weight (number average) of the polyamides i8 greater than 5,000, preferably greater than 10,000, eorresponding to a relative viseosity (~r~) in the range from 1.9 to 2.4.
