Abstract
Abstract A composite tubing product and method for making the same, the tubing includes an elastomeric polyurethane inner core tube having a peripheral zone of elastomeric, adhesively activated core tube material on the outer surface of the tube, a stranded reinforcement layer elastomerically secured to the core tube by the adhesively activated material, and an outer sheath disposed around the reinforcement layer. In another form, an additional reinforcement layer may be disposed around the first reinforcement layer, and such additional layer is generally free of securement to the first layer.
