Abstract
Abstract A method for simultaneously extruding and foaming a seamless, closed cell, cellular, tubular conduit by extruding through no-land die and restricting foaming action until the conduit has been extruded. The resultant conduit can be made either uni-layer or multiple layer, with or without reinforcing with any of the layers foamed to produce an extremely flexible hose at a wide temperature range and having great resistance to kinking.
