Abstract

A multilayer composite which has improved adhesion between the layers, with the following layers: I. an inner layer I selected from among a fluoropolymer molding composition and a polyolefin molding composition; II. a bonding layer II which has the following composition: a) from 2 to 80 parts by weight of a polyamine-polyamide graft copolymer, b) from 0 to 85 parts by weight of a polyester, c) from 0 to 85 parts by weight of a polymer selected from among polyamides, fluoropolymers and polyolefins, where the sum of the parts by weight of a), b) and c) is 100; d) not more than 50 parts by weight of additives; III. a layer III of a polyester molding composition.

Claims (29)

1. A multilayer composite comprising the following layers in order:

I. an inner layer I selected from the group consisting of a fluoropolymer molding composition consisting of a fluoropolymer, a fluoropolymer molding composition consisting of a fluoropolymer and an electrically conductive additive, a polyolefin molding composition consisting of a polyolefin additive; and a polyolefin molding composition consisting of a polyolefin and an electrically conductive additive;

II. a bonding layer II which has the following composition: a) from 2 to 80 parts by weight of a graft copolymer prepared from the following monomers: from 0.5 to 25% by weight, based on the graft copolymer, of a polyamine having at least 4 nitrogen atoms, and polyamide-forming monomers selected from the group consisting of lactams, ω-aminocarboxylic acids and equimolar combinations of diamine and dicarboxylic acid;

b) from 0 to 85 parts by weight of a polyester, c) from 0 to 85 parts by weight of a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyamides, fluoropolymers and polyolefins, where the sum of the parts by weight of a), b) and c) is 100; d) not more than 50 parts by weight of one or more additives selected from the group consisting of impact-modifying rubber and customary auxiliaries and additives;

a layer III of a polyester molding composition comprising a polyester and up to 40% by weight of another thermoplastic,

wherein optionally, layer II or layer III or an additional inner layer additionally contains an electrically conductive additive.

2. The multilayer composite as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the component II.a) is present in an amount of from 4 to 60 parts by weight and/or

the component II.b) is present in an amount of from 10 to 75 parts by weight.

3. The multilayer composite as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the component II.a) is present in an amount of from 6 to 40 parts by weight and/or

the component II.b) is present in an amount of from 25 to 65 parts by weight.

4. The multilayer composite as claimed claim 1 , wherein component II.c) is present in an amount of from 5 to 75 parts by weight.

5. The multilayer composite as claimed in claim 4 , wherein component II.c) is present in an amount of from 10 to 65 parts by weight.

6. The multilayer composite as claimed in claim 4 , wherein component II.c) is present in an amount of from 20 to 55 parts by weight.

7. The multilayer composite as claimed in claim 1 , wherein inner layer I is a fluoropolymer molding composition, and the fluoropolymer is a fluoropolymer selected from the group consisting of PVDF, ETFE, ETFE modified by a third component, E-CTFE, PCTFE, THV, FEP and PFA.

8. The multilayer composite as claimed in claim 1 , wherein inner layer I is a polyolefin molding composition, and the polyolefin is polyethylene or isotactic polypropylene.

9. The multilayer composite as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fluoropolymer or the polyolefin of inner layer I is adhesion-modified.

10. The multilayer composite as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polyester of the polyester molding composition of layer III is selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene 2,6-naphthalate, polypropylene 2,6-naphthalate and polybutylene 2,6-naphthalate.

11. The multilayer composite as claimed in claim 1 , which additionally has a layer of a polyamide molding composition or a polyolefin molding composition which is joined via a bonding agent to the layer III.

12. The multilayer composite as claimed in claim 1 , which is a pipe or a hollow body.

13. The multilayer composite as claimed in claim 1 , which is a pipe which is corrugated in its entirety or in subregions.

14. The multilayer composite as claimed in claim 1 , which is a fuel line, a brake fluid line, a cooling fluid line, a hydraulic fluid line, a filling station line, an air conditioner line, a vapor line, a container or a filling port.

15. The multilayer composite as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one of the layers of the composite or said additional inner layer additionally contains an electrically conductive additive.

16. The multilayer composite as claimed in claim 1 , which has been produced by coextrusion, coating, multicomponent injection molding or coextrusion blow molding.

17. The multilayer composite as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the graft copolymer is prepared with additional use of an oligocarboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of about 0.015 to about 3 mol % of dicarboxylic acid and about 0.01 to about 1.2 mol % of tricarboxylic acid, based on the sum of the polyamide-forming monomers.

18. The multilayer composite as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polyamine has at least 11 nitrogen atoms and a number average molecular weight M n of at least 800 g/mol.

19. A method of forming a multilayer composite comprising subjecting inner layer I, bonding layer II, and layer III, of claim 1 , to coextrusion, multicomponent injection molding or coextrusion blow molding.

20. A method comprising bonding an inner layer I to a layer III with a single bonding layer II therebetween, wherein the multilayer composite of claim 1 is formed.
