NEWLY INNOVATIVE MLT

SOLUTIONS: SUNBESTA-ZVDouble barrier material created by:

Requirements for Fuel Lines• Mechanical properties (Burst pressure, Cold impact resistance, Tensile elongation, etc.)

• Long term durability (Lifetime)

• 15 years, 150,000 miles

• Fuel and chemical resistance

• CE5, CE10, CM15, CE22, CM30, CE85, E100

• Bio fuels (Bio alcohol, Bio diesel; RME, SME, etc.)

• Auto oxidized fuels (aggressive fuels with high peroxide number)

• Low permeation

• Euro4, Euro5, Euro6

• LEV II, PZEV, LEV III

• Conductive (USA , Japan)

• Processability, thermoforming (Straight, Corrugate)

• Cost reduction

Trend of MLT System

• Wide variety of fuels are being used

• Lower emission requirements

• Cost efficiency

• Oligomer free and conductive material for inner layer

• Wide range of MLT systems for fuel lines have been proposed:

• PA11/PA12 and PBT, PBN, PVDF, ETFE, EFEP, EVOH,

PPS MLT systems

• Layer construction of MLT has grown more complicated

Advanced Multi-layer Tube System

• AGC, KURARAY and UBE jointly developed 3-layer Tube System:

• to offer a high level of low permeation system against variety kind of fuels

• to offer a low oligomer wash out system

• to offer a reasonable cost performance system

• Outer layer:

• Modified-PA12 with excellent cold impact resistance and long term heat resistance

• Middle layer:

• Modified-PA9T with excellent hydro-carbon barrier properties and good chemical and

hydrolysis resistance

• Inner layer:

• Modified-ETFE with excellent alcohol barrier properties, fuel (including aggressive oxidized

fuels and high alcohol based fuel), chemical and hydrolysis resistance, and adhesive

properties
