  • Cyclohexane was filled in the hollow of the elastic tube and kept at a temperature of 20-25 ° C for 70 hours. After discharging cyclohexane, the change in mass of the tube before and after the test was measured and evaluated according to the following criteria.
  • Mass change is 30% or more
  • Resin pinch valve for wet process manufactured by Asahi Organic Materials Co., Ltd., trade name “Dymatri X
  • AVPV3 was fitted with an elastic tube.
  • This pinch valve can press a 15 mm x 10 mm prismatic piston (the peripheral edge of the tip is chamfered (curvature 0.4)) toward the flat plate with compressed air. Press the tube between.
  • the elastic tube was repeatedly pressed with a piston that did not allow liquid to pass through the tube.
  • the conditions for pressing are as follows.
  • the elastic tubes of Examples 1 to 3 have durability against repeated pressing and resistance because the inner layer and outer layer (elastic layer) are joined by an appropriate intermediate layer. Excellent chemical properties.
  • the laminated elastic tube of the present invention is used, for example, for applications in which a fluid flows in the tube (especially an elastic tube used for a pinch valve or a roller pump). For applications such as controlling the flow of fluid in a tube) or applications that allow non-fluid to pass through a tube (for example, a cable tube (push-pull tube) with a metal wire passed through it to transmit torque, etc.) Can be used.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un tube élastique stratifié dont la surface interne est composée d'une couche (20) de résine fluorée, une couche élastique (10) étant formée sur le côté externe de la couche (20) de résine fluorée. Dans ce tube élastique stratifié, une couche intermédiaire (30) composée d'une résine fluorée poreuse (32) et d'un corps élastique (31) remplissant les pores de la résine fluorée poreuse (32) est formée entre la couche (20) de résine fluorée et la couche élastique (10). La couche (20) en résine fluorée utilisée comme surface interne du tube est jointe à la résine fluorée poreuse (32) de la couche intermédiaire (30) et la couche élastique (10) prévue sur le côté externe est jointe au corps élastique (31) de la couche intermédiaire (30).
