Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to a plastic pipe having improved resistance, inter alia, to methanol-containing fuels and improved mechanical properties, comprising. (I) at least one outer layer, (II) at least one inner layer comprising a polyvinylidene fluoride molding composition, and (III) a layer, disposed between the inner layer II and the outer layer I, comprising a molding composition comprising a mixture of: (a) polyamide and (b) polyalkyl acrylate, wherein the layers (I)-(III) are adhesively bonded to one another.
