Coex automotive tubing meets tough Calif. rule. (Keeping up with Extrusion).Sanoh Industrial Co. Ltd., an injection molder mold·er v. mold·ered, mold·er·ing, mold·ers v.intr. To crumble to dust; disintegrate. v.tr. To cause to crumble. See Synonyms at decay. and extruder of automotive parts in Ibaragi, Japan, is pitching its coextruded high-barrier tubing to U.S. car makers. Sanoh's four-layer tube is already used for fuel lines in Japan and meets California's LEV II emissions standard (0.5g of hydrocarbon hydrocarbon (hī'drōkär`bən), any organic compound composed solely of the elements hydrogen and carbon. The hydrocarbons differ both in the total number of carbon and hydrogen atoms in their molecules and in the proportion of hydrogen in a 24-hr SHED test). The tubing is currently produced on four extrusion lines. Sanoh has ordered another line from a Swiss firm to make many more layers. Sanoh expects to make fuel and vapor tubing capable of meeting 10 times tougher PZEV PZEV Partial Zero-Emission Vehicle standards. Test results should be available in May. The new line should be in production in September, making smooth and corrugated cor·ru·gate v. cor·ru·gat·ed, cor·ru·gat·ing, cor·ru·gates v.tr.
