nients, notamment du fait de l'alcool qui est nécessairement présent dans les fluides véhiculés. En effet, l'alcool à pour premier effet de faire gonfler le matériau ce qui détruit ses caractéristiques dimensionnelles et conduit à des pertes d'étanchéité ou des contraintes inadmissibles dans les nients, in particular due to the alcohol which is necessarily present in the fluids conveyed. In fact, alcohol has the primary effect of causing the material to swell, which destroys its dimensional characteristics and leads to losses of tightness or unacceptable stresses in the

Pour combattre cet inconvénient on a proposé de revêtir la paroi intérieure de ces canalisations d'une couche barrière fine par exemple en polyoléfine (polypropylène To combat this drawback, it has been proposed to coat the inner wall of these pipes with a thin barrier layer, for example of polyolefin (polypropylene

Dans d'autres techniques on a également proposé de revêtir la face interne de cette canalisation d'un EVOH (copolymère d'éthylène alcool vinylique) pour la propriété bien connue de ces corps à former une barrière efficace notamment aux solvants organiques. Cependant en présence d'alcool les EVOH ont une tendance à retenir cet alcool et In other techniques, it has also been proposed to coat the internal face of this pipe with an EVOH (ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer) for the well-known property of these bodies to form an effective barrier, in particular to organic solvents. However in the presence of alcohol the EVOH have a tendency to retain this alcohol and

Dans le domaine des réservoirs de carburant, des travaux concernent l'utilisation de polyéthylène qui est un matériau neutre offrant une bonne résistance à l'alcool. Pour encore améliorer l'étanchéité aux vapeurs, on traite la surface interne de la paraison pour y déposer une fine couche In the field of fuel tanks, work concerns the use of polyethylene which is a neutral material offering good resistance to alcohol. To further improve vapor tightness, the internal surface of the parison is treated to deposit a thin layer there.

A cet effet l'invention a donc pour objet un tube en matière synthétique à plusieurs couches, fabriqué par coextrusion destiné à véhiculer notamment un carburant de véhicule automobile qui comporte, de l'intérieur vers l'extérieur, une couche de méthyl ethyl pentène, une couche adhésive d'acide ou d'anhydride maléique, et une couche To this end, the subject of the invention is therefore a plastic tube with several layers, produced by coextrusion intended in particular to transport a motor vehicle fuel which comprises, from the inside to the outside, a layer of methyl ethyl pentene, an adhesive layer of maleic acid or anhydride, and a layer

In this regard, it will be indicated that an advantageous thickness of this inner layer will be of the order of 0.4 to 0.8 millimeters so that the assembly by welding to internal partitions or to a connection device in

L'adhésion du méthyl éthyl pentène à la couche extérieure de polyamide est réalisée par un copolymère polyéthylène, acide acrylique ou anhydride maléique coextrudé avec la couche intérieure et sur une épaisseur de l'ordre de The adhesion of methyl ethyl pentene to the outer polyamide layer is carried out by a polyethylene, acrylic acid or maleic anhydride copolymer coextruded with the inner layer and over a thickness of the order of

La conduite ainsi obtenue présente trois couches coextrudées: - à l'intérieur une couche de méthyl éthyl pentène sur 0,4 à 0,8 millimètre d'épaisseur (par exemple le produit TPX commercialisé par la firme MITSUI), - une couche adhésive de copolymère polyéthylène, acide acrylique et/ou anhydride maléique sur environ 0,2 millimètre d'épaisseur, - et à l'extérieur une couche de polyamide de 0,3 à 0,5 millimètre d'épaisseur, ce qui est nettement inférieur aux conduites en polyamide en monocouche qui sont beaucoup swim. The pipe thus obtained has three coextruded layers: - inside a layer of methyl ethyl pentene 0.4 to 0.8 mm thick (for example the TPX product sold by the firm MITSUI), - an adhesive layer of polyethylene, acrylic acid and / or maleic anhydride copolymer about 0.2 millimeter thick, - and on the outside a polyamide layer 0.3 to 0.5 millimeter thick, which is considerably less than the pipes in polyamide in monolayer which are a lot

Ce produit présente des caractéristiques élevées d'imperméabilité. En effet la réalisation de la fonction barrière aux carburant et alcool par deux matériaux permet d'utiliser des matériaux moins coûteux au total qu'un This product has high waterproofing characteristics. Indeed the achievement of the barrier function to fuel and alcohol by two materials allows the use of materials which are less expensive in total than

Furthermore, the choice of a methyl ethyl pentene as an internal layer does not preclude incorporating into it a charge of pulverulent material and in particular of graphite. The inner layer can then become conductive and provide protection against static electrical charges in the pipe.
