Abstract

A fluorocopolymer which comprises (a) polymerized units based on tetrafluoroethylene and/or chlorotrifluoroethylene, (b) polymerized units based on a fluorinated monomer (excluding tetrafluoroethylene and chlorotrifluoroethylene) and (c) polymerized units based on at least one member selected from the group consisting of itaconic acid, itaconic anhydride, citraconic acid and citraconic anhydride, wherein (a) is from 50 to 99.8 mol %, (b) is from 0.1 to 49.99 mol %, and (c) is from 0.01 to 5 mol %, based on ((a)+(b)+(c)), and which has a volume flow rate of from 0.1 to 1000 mm 3 /sec.

Claims (3)

1. A multi-layer laminate hose having a fluorocopolymer layer and a polyamide resin layer directly laminated thereto, wherein the fluorocopolymer comprises (A) polymerized units of tetrafluoroethylene and/or chlorotrifluoroethylene, (B) polymerized units of a fluoromonomer, except for tetrafluoroethylene and chlorotrifluoroethylene, and (C) polymerized units of at least one member selected from the group consisting of itaconic acid, itaconic anhydride, citraconic acid and citraconic anhydride, in which the molar ratios of polymerized units (A), (B) and (C) are respectively from 50 to 99.8 mol %, from 0.1 to 49.99 mol % and from 0.01 to 5 mol %, to the total polymerized units and which has a volume flow rate of from 0.1 to 1000 mm 3 /sec.

2. The multi-layer laminate hose of claim 1 , wherein the fluorocopolymer further includes (D) polymerized units of a non-fluoromonomer, and the molar ratio ((A)+(B)+(C))/(D) is from 100/5 to 100/90.

3. The multi-layer laminate hose of claim 1 or 2 , wherein the laminate is obtained by co-extrusion molding.
