In the fluororesin layer of the sheet of the present invention, the fluororesin constituting the fluororesin layer is polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF). The present inventors have found that PVdF is more strongly bonded to carbon filaments than other fluororesins. The sheet of the present invention has an extremely high tensile strength by containing the carbon fiber and PVdF.

These monomers may be copolymerized with 1 kind or 2 or more kinds.

When the PVdF contains the polymerized unit based on the monomer (α), the polymerized unit based on VdF is preferably 95 mol% or more and 5 mol% or less based on the monomer (α), more preferably 95.5 mol% or more based on VdF and 4.5 mol% or less based on the monomer (α), further preferably 97.0 mol% or more based on VdF and 3.0 mol% or less based on the monomer (α), particularly preferably 98.0 mol% or more based on VdF and 2.0 mol% or less based on the monomer (α), and most preferably 99.0 mol% or more based on VdF and 1.0 mol% or less based on the monomer (α), based on the entire polymerized units.

The content of each monomer in the copolymer can be calculated by appropriately combining NMR and elemental analysis depending on the kind of the monomer.

The melting point of the PVdF is preferably 140 to 190 ℃, and more preferably 150 to 180 ℃.

The melting point was measured thermally at a temperature rise rate of 10 ℃ per minute in accordance with ASTM D-4591 using a differential scanning calorimeter RDC220 (manufactured by Seiko Instruments Co., Ltd.), and the melting point was determined as the temperature corresponding to the peak of the obtained endothermic curve.

The Melt Flow Rate (MFR) of the PVdF is preferably 1 to 100g/10 min, more preferably 5 to 50g/10 min.

The MFR is a value measured at 240 ℃ under a load of 5kg in accordance with ASTM D3307-01.

The PVdF can be produced by a conventionally known method, such as solution polymerization or suspension polymerization, by appropriately mixing VdF constituting a polymerization unit with the monomer (α) and an additive such as a polymerization initiator.

In the sheet of the present invention, the fluororesin layer is located around the carbon single fibers constituting the carbon fibers. This means that in the sheet of the present invention, the fluororesin constituting the fluororesin layer, i.e., the PVdF, constitutes the matrix resin. As described above, the PVdF is more strongly bonded to the carbon single fibers than the other fluororesin. The sheet of the present invention has an extremely high tensile strength by including the PVdF as a matrix resin together with the carbon fibers.

In the sheet of the present invention, it is also preferable that the fluororesin is impregnated into at least a part of carbon single fibers constituting the carbon fibers. Further, it is preferable that at least a part of the carbon single fibers be embedded in the fluororesin layer. Further, it is preferable that at least a part of the carbon single fiber penetrates the fluororesin layer.

The fluororesin and the carbon single fibers used in the sheet of the present invention preferably have an adhesive strength of 40MPa or more by the micro-dropping method. When the adhesion strength is 40MPa or more, the fluororesin and the carbon single fibers are more strongly adhered, and thus the tensile strength of the sheet becomes higher. If the bonding strength is too low, the resin and the carbon single fibers are not firmly bonded, and the carbon single fibers may fall off from the resin during a tensile test of the sheet, thereby lowering the tensile strength. The adhesive strength is more preferably 45MPa or more, still more preferably 50MPa or more, particularly preferably 55MPa or more, and most preferably 60MPa or more.

The adhesive strength by the micro-drop method is measured by melting a fluororesin as a matrix resin at a predetermined temperature and using the droplets thus produced, and the adhesive strength thus measured is obtained.

First, both ends of a carbon single fiber taken out of a carbon fiber bundle were fixed to an コ -shaped test stand using an adhesive. The fluororesin heated to a predetermined temperature and melted was allowed to contact and adhere to the carbon single fibers fixed to the コ -shaped test bed. The carbon single fibers to which the fluororesin is adhered are cooled at room temperature, and then the fluororesin is melted again, thereby forming a droplet shape. The carbon single fibers to which the fluororesin was attached were sufficiently cooled again at room temperature, and then the test bed was set on a test bed setting folding plate of the apparatus. The test bed is provided with a folding plate connected to a test bed moving device having a load cell, and the test bed can be moved at a constant speed in the fiber axis direction of the carbon single fiber. Thereafter, the test stand was moved in the fiber axis direction of the carbon single fibers at a speed of 0.3mm/min, the maximum load at the time of drawing the carbon single fibers out of the droplets made of the fluororesin was measured, and the value obtained by dividing the value by the contact area between the droplets and the carbon single fibers before the measurement was used as the adhesion strength. In the test, droplets having a diameter of 50 to 90 μm are selected and carried out at room temperature. The average value of N of 20 or more was used as the result of the sample.

The sheet of the present invention is preferably obtained by compositing the carbon fibers with the film or powder of the fluororesin, more preferably by compositing the carbon fibers in a sheet form with the film or powder of the fluororesin, and even more preferably by compositing the unidirectional carbon fiber sheet of the carbon fibers with the film or powder of the fluororesin.

The composite may be formed, for example, by molding the fluororesin to obtain a film and then hot-pressing the film and the carbon fibers. The carbon fibers are preferably in the form of a sheet, and more preferably in the form of a unidirectional carbon fiber sheet. In the case where the carbon fibers or the unidirectional carbon fiber sheet in a sheet form is used, the fluororesin film may be arranged on both sides of the carbon fibers and then may be subjected to hot pressing to form a composite.

The film used for the composite formation may be obtained by molding the fluororesin by a method such as extrusion molding or press molding.

The tensile strength of the film is preferably 1 to 200MPa, more preferably 10 to 100 MPa.

The tensile modulus of elasticity of the film is preferably 50 to 10000MPa, more preferably 100 to 5000 MPa.

Examples of the plasticizer include dioctyl phthalate and pentaerythritol. Examples of the processing aid include carnauba wax, sulfone compounds, low molecular weight polyethylene, fluorine-based aids, and the like. Examples of the dehydrofluorinating agent include organic onium and amidines.

In the above sheet, other resins than the above fluororesin may be blended, and other rubbers may be blended. Wherein at least one selected from the group consisting of Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is preferably blended.

The fluororesin contained in the sheet may be crosslinked. This improves the wear resistance, the sudden pressure drop resistance, and the chemical resistance of the metal.

As the crosslinking method, a radiation crosslinking method is preferable in terms of further improving the wear resistance to metals.

In the radiation cross-linking method, the sheet is irradiated with radiation. Examples of the radiation include electron beams, ultraviolet rays, gamma rays, X-rays, neutron beams, and high-energy ions. Among them, electron beams are preferable in terms of excellent transmittance, high dose rate, and suitability for industrial production.

The method of irradiating radiation is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a method using a conventionally known radiation irradiation apparatus.

The irradiation environment of the radiation is not particularly limited, but the oxygen concentration is preferably 1000ppm or less, preferably no oxygen is present, and more preferably in vacuum or in an inert gas atmosphere such as nitrogen, helium, or argon.

The irradiation temperature of the radiation is preferably 0 to 300 ℃. More preferably 5 ℃ or higher, still more preferably 10 ℃ or higher, particularly preferably 20 ℃ or higher, and still more preferably 100 ℃ or lower. The irradiation temperature of the radiation is preferably not higher than the glass transition temperature of the fluororesin, and more preferably not higher than the melting point of the fluororesin. If the irradiation temperature is too high, the resin may be decomposed. If the irradiation temperature is too low, crosslinking may be insufficient.

The irradiation temperature is preferably within the above numerical range and less than the melting point of the fluororesin.

The irradiation temperature is not particularly limited, and can be adjusted by a known method. Specifically, there may be mentioned a method of holding the fluororesin in a heating furnace maintained at a predetermined temperature; a method of placing the heater on a hot plate and energizing a heater built in the hot plate, or heating the hot plate by an external heating means.

The radiation dose of the radiation is preferably 10 to 500 kGy. More preferably 15 to 400kGy, still more preferably 20 to 300kGy, particularly preferably 30 to 250kGy, and most preferably 30 to 150 kGy. If the radiation dose is too large or too small, crosslinking may become insufficient.

The sheet of the present invention is preferably a tape. The belt is preferably a belt-like body having flexibility that enables winding (or winding). The belt of the present invention has a high tensile strength.

The shape of the tape of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is substantially a tape shape, and the following shapes can be exemplified.

(1) Strip with rectangular cross-section

The belt of the mode (1) has a simple shape and is easy to manufacture.

Fig. 1(a) shows a cross section of an example of the belt of the mode (1).

(2) Belt having shape with thin thickness part at both ends in width direction

The tape of the aspect (2) can be wound around the object without a gap by winding the tapes so that the thin portions of the adjacent tapes overlap each other when wound, and therefore, even when applied to a tape layer constituting a flexible pipe or the like through which a high-temperature fluid flows, the high-temperature fluid can be easily prevented from permeating to the outside. In addition, since the thin portions are overlapped with each other, the thickness of the obtained tape layer can be easily made uniform.

The thin portions at both ends in the width direction are preferably provided on the opposite end sides in the thickness direction. That is, the thin portion at one end is preferably provided on the upper end side in the thickness direction, and the thin portion at the other end is preferably provided on the lower end side.

Fig. 1(b) shows a cross section of an example of the belt of the mode (2).

Thin portions 3 having a thickness smaller than that of the central portion 2 are provided at both ends of the belt 1b in the width direction. The thin portion 3 at one end is provided on the upper end side in the thickness direction of the belt 1b, and the thin portion 3 at the other end is provided on the lower end side.

The embodiment (2) does not include the embodiment (3) described later.

(3) Tape having a shape capable of locking a widthwise end portion and a widthwise end portion of an adjacent tape to each other at the time of winding

Examples of the belt of the aspect (3) include, but are not limited to, a belt having a cross section in a substantially Z-shape, a substantially U-shape, a substantially S-shape, a substantially T-shape, a substantially I-shape, and the like.

The tape of the aspect (3) is wound so that the end portions in the width direction of the adjacent tapes are engaged with each other at the time of winding, and thereby a tape layer in which the tapes are locked to each other can be obtained. Therefore, when the tape is applied to a tape layer constituting a flexible pipe or the like through which a high-temperature fluid flows, the tape can be prevented from being displaced when the flexible pipe or the like is bent or twisted. As a result, the outflow of the fluid flowing through the flexible pipes can be more reliably prevented.

The belt according to the aspect (3), wherein the cross-sectional shape is preferably substantially zigzag. More specifically, it is preferable that the projection has a thin portion at both ends in the width direction, and has projections projecting in directions opposite to each other (facing directions) in the thickness direction from the thin portions at both ends in the width direction.

Since the tapes have the portions (locking portions) having the lock-like structures at both ends in the width direction, when winding, the tapes are wound so that the locking portions of the adjacent tapes are engaged with each other, that is, so that the convex portion of one tape is fitted into the concave portion formed by the convex portion and the thin portion of the other tape, and thus a tape layer in which the tapes are locked with each other can be obtained.

Fig. 1(c) shows a cross section of an example of the belt of the mode (3).

The belt 1c has a substantially zigzag shape in cross section. Thin portions 5 are provided at both ends of the belt 1c in the width direction, and further, convex portions 4 protruding from 2 of the thin portions 5 in directions opposite to each other (facing directions) in the thickness direction are provided.

The belt of the present invention is particularly preferably the belt of the above-described embodiment (3).

The belt of the present invention can be produced by molding the fluororesin together with the carbon fiber and, if necessary, the other components by a method such as extrusion molding, drawing molding, press molding, melt impregnation molding, extrusion lamination molding, or dry powder coating molding. These molding methods may be combined. The fluororesin may be processed into a thread together with the other components as necessary, woven into a desired shape to form a woven fabric tape, and then combined with the carbon fibers.

The drawing, the dry powder coating, and the extrusion lamination can be performed by methods described in the following documents.

Assisting fig. describes the formation と of FRTP (formation and properties of FRTP of continuous fiber, journal industries, 2015, 3/30, pages 75, 85 and 143.

The width, thickness, and length of the belt of the present invention can be appropriately set according to the application. When the tape of the present invention is applied to a flexible pipe such as a riser through which a high-temperature fluid flows, the tape may have a width of 1mm to 10m and a thickness of 10 μm to 5cm, for example. The length may be determined by the amount of tape used, and may be about 1 to 1000km when applied to flexible pipes through which high-temperature fluid flows.

The invention also relates to a laminate comprising a 1 st layer and a 2 nd layer, the 2 nd layer being formed on the 1 st layer and being formed from the sheet.

Each layer of the laminate may be surface-treated on one side or both sides by a plasma discharge treatment, a corona discharge treatment, or the like. Further, an adhesive may be applied. The 1 st and 2 nd layers may or may not be bonded.

Layer 1 preferably comprises a polymer. Examples of the polymer include a fluoropolymer, polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyimide, polyether ketone, polyether ketone ether ketone, polyamide, polyethylene, and the like, or a mixture thereof.

Examples of the fluoropolymer include the above-mentioned PVdF and tetrafluoroethylene/vinylidene fluoride copolymer. Among them, PVdF is preferable because of easy thermal adhesion.

The laminate may include layers other than the 1 st layer and the 2 nd layer. For example, another layer may be further provided on the surface of the 1 st layer opposite to the 2 nd layer and/or on the surface of the 2 nd layer opposite to the 1 st layer depending on the purpose.

The laminate is preferably a tube. When the laminate is a tube, the sheet is preferably a tape. When the laminate is a tube, the layer 1 may be a flexible tube described later.

The present invention also relates to a pipe comprising a 1 st layer and a 2 nd layer, the 2 nd layer being formed on the 1 st layer and being formed by the tape, wherein the 1 st layer and the 2 nd layer are laminated in this order from the inside of the pipe, and the 2 nd layer is formed by winding the tape around the outer periphery of the 1 st layer. The 1 st and 2 nd layers may or may not be bonded.

Pipes used in subsea fields include a riser (for sucking crude oil), an umbilical (a unit for controlling suction and collecting a pipe into which a crude oil viscosity reducing agent is injected, a power cable, and the like in one pipe), a flowline (a pipe through which the sucked crude oil is transported while sliding on the seabed), and the like. These are different in structure, and a metal-only pipe, a metal/resin mixed pipe, and the like are known, and for the purpose of weight reduction, a metal-only pipe tends to be reduced, and metal/resin mixing is becoming the mainstream.

In the existing pipe used in the subsea field, since high pressure fluid flows or is used in deep sea, 2 or more metal layers are provided so that they can withstand pressure from the inside and the outside. However, the fluid flowing through the pipe often contains corrosive substances such as hydrogen sulfide, and there is a problem that the corrosive substances penetrating through the resin layer corrode the metal layer. Further, since the metal layer is harder than the resin layer, there is a problem that the resin layer penetrates into the metal layer by pressure and is damaged when a high-pressure fluid flows through the pipe. Further, the weight of the pipe is required to be further reduced.

The pipe of the present invention has the 2 nd layer having a high tensile strength, and therefore, is excellent in pressure resistance, and can reduce the number of metal layers and the thickness of the metal layers. Further, the pipe is excellent in corrosion resistance and is small in weight as compared with conventional pipes. And further easily avoid the invasion of the resin layer.

Further, when the above pipe is applied to a flexible pipe or the like through which a high-temperature fluid flows, such as a riser pipe, it is possible to suppress permeation of the high-temperature fluid through the layer outside the 2 nd layer, and it is possible to prevent corrosion of the layer outside the 2 nd layer. In addition, the strength of the flexible pipes can be prevented from being reduced.

The layer 1 is preferably a flexible tube. The flexible pipe may have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. The method for producing the multilayer structure is not particularly limited, and known sequential extrusion molding, coextrusion molding, and the like are preferable.

The material for constituting the pipe body is not particularly limited as long as it can impart flexibility to the pipe body, and for example, a known material used for various flexible pipes can be selected according to the application. Examples of the material include polymers, more specifically, fluoropolymers, Polyetheretherketones (PEEK), polyimides, polyetherketones, polyetherketoneketones, polyetherketoneetherketoneketones, polyamides, polyethylene, and mixtures thereof.

Examples of the fluoropolymer include the above-mentioned PVdF and tetrafluoroethylene/vinylidene fluoride copolymer.

In the layer 2, the tapes are preferably arranged so as to be adjacent to each other in the width direction. More preferably, the width-direction end portions of the adjacent bands are locked to each other. This is achieved, for example, by using the belt of the above-described mode (3).

In the 2 nd layer, the above tape may be laminated in 2 or more layers.

In the pipe of the present invention, the 1 st layer and the 2 nd layer constitute a tubular body, respectively, and the 2 nd layer is formed on the 1 st layer. Fig. 2 schematically shows an example of the structure of the pipe of the present invention.

In the above pipe, since the 2 nd layer is formed of the above tape of the present invention, the mechanical strength is not easily lowered even when used in a high-temperature environment. Further, when the above pipe is applied to a flexible pipe or the like through which a high-temperature fluid flows, such as a riser pipe, it is possible to suppress permeation of the high-temperature fluid through the layer outside the 2 nd layer, and it is possible to prevent corrosion of the layer outside the 2 nd layer. In addition, the strength of the flexible pipes can be prevented from being reduced.

In the pipe of the present invention, the tape layer (layer 2) formed of a resin has a higher heat insulating effect than the metal layer, and therefore, a decrease in temperature inside the pipe (portion inside the layer 2) can be reduced. This is particularly effective in the case of carrying out the transportation of a material whose viscosity is abruptly increased by the decrease in temperature and which does not flow in the tube. The heat insulating effect can be further improved by forming a hollow portion in the tape by a method such as foaming.

In the pipe of the present invention, the 2 nd layer is formed by winding the above-described tape around the outer periphery of the 1 st layer. In this way, when the 2 nd layer is formed as a tape-wound layer in which the tape is wound around the outer periphery of the 1 st layer, the tape does not stretch when the pipe is bent due to the gap between the tapes, and an effect is obtained that the physical properties of the tape layer are not reduced or deformed when the pipe is returned to the original state.

The method of winding the tape is not particularly limited, and for example, a method of winding the tape around the outer periphery of the 1 st layer in a spiral shape is preferable. Fig. 3 schematically shows an example of the above-described method for winding the belt. The tape 14 (tape of the present invention) is wound around the outer periphery of the tubular inner layer 11 (layer 1) in a spiral shape in the direction of the arrow in the figure.

In the winding, the tape may be wound around the outer periphery of the layer 1 so that the width direction end portions of the adjacent tapes do not overlap each other (see, for example, fig. 4 (a)). In the case of winding 2 or more layers of the above-described tape, the angle of the wound tape may be changed for each layer. Further, the tape may be wound by the same method with the winding position shifted so as to cover the boundary portion of the already wound tape on the outer periphery of the obtained tape winding layer (for example, see fig. 4 (b)). This can more reliably suppress permeation of the high-temperature fluid. In this case, the winding of the tape is preferably performed such that the tape of the lower layer (inner layer side) and the tape of the upper layer (outer layer side) can be wound in the same direction, but when the winding is performed in the opposite directions, the tension applied to the pipe at the time of winding can be balanced, and the winding is easy.

The belt may be wound so that the widthwise ends of the adjacent belt overlap each other (see, for example, fig. 4 (c)). This can more reliably suppress permeation of the high-temperature fluid. In this manner, it is also possible to wind the above-mentioned tape in the same direction or in opposite directions for more than 2 layers.

In the case where the belt has the thin portions at both ends in the width direction, it is preferable that the winding is performed so that the thin portions of the adjacent belts overlap each other (see, for example, fig. 4 (d)). This can more reliably suppress permeation of the high-temperature fluid. In addition, the thickness of the obtained tape winding layer can be easily made uniform. In this manner, it is also possible to wind the above-mentioned tape in the same direction or in opposite directions for more than 2 layers.

In the case where the tapes have a shape that can be locked to each other, it is preferable that the adjacent photographically tapes are wound so that the widthwise ends thereof are engaged with each other (see, for example, fig. 4 (e)). In this way, the tape winding layer in which the tapes are engaged with each other can be obtained, and therefore, in the case where the pipe is bent or twisted, the misalignment of the tapes can be prevented. As a result, the permeation of the high-temperature fluid can be more reliably suppressed. Further, the thickness of the resulting tape-wound layer can be easily made uniform. In this manner, it is also possible to wind the above-mentioned tape in the same direction or in opposite directions for more than 2 layers.

The winding of the tape can be performed by using a known tape winding device.

In the layer 2, the width-direction end portions of the adjacent tapes are preferably locked to each other. This is achieved by, for example, winding the belt of the above-described mode (3) around the outer periphery of the above-described layer 1 in such a manner that the widthwise ends of the photographically adjacent belts are engaged with each other.

The tube of the present invention preferably further comprises a3 rd layer formed on the 2 nd layer. Examples of materials that can be used for the 3 rd layer include metals, resins, and rubbers. Among them, metals are preferred. The 3 rd layer can be formed by covering the outer periphery of the 2 nd layer with a necessary material by, for example, a known method. Fig. 5 schematically shows an example of the structure of the pipe of this type. The tube 20 is formed by stacking a 1 st layer 21, a 2 nd layer 22, and a3 rd layer 23 (reinforcing layer) in this order from the inner layer side.

In this embodiment, since the 2 nd layer-structured laminate formed of the 2 nd and 3 rd layers is provided on the outer layer side of the 1 st layer, the 1 st layer can be reinforced. In particular, when the 3 rd layer is a layer made of metal, the 1 st layer can be reinforced more sufficiently. In addition, even when a high-temperature fluid flows through the 1 st layer, the high-temperature fluid can be prevented from penetrating from the 2 nd layer to the 3 rd layer, and corrosion of the 3 rd layer can be prevented. In addition, even under high temperature conditions, the reinforcing effect of the 1 st layer can be prevented from being reduced.

In the pipe of the present invention, another layer may be further provided on the outer periphery of the 3 rd layer, or another layer may be further provided on the inner periphery of the 1 st layer, depending on the application.

The pipe of the present invention has the above-described excellent characteristics, and therefore can be suitably used for, for example, a flexible metal pipe described in japanese patent application laid-open No. 7-276523, a high-temperature fluid transfer pipe described in japanese patent application laid-open No. 61-6485, a multi-layer flexible pipe described in U.S. patent application laid-open No. 2008/0314471, and the like.

A riser pipe and a flow line including the pipe of the present invention are also one aspect of the present invention. The risers and flowlines described above may suitably be used as risers and flowlines for transporting material from the seafloor to the surface in a subsea oil or gas field. The material may be a fluid such as crude oil, petroleum gas, or natural gas.

One embodiment of a riser (or flowline) of the present invention is illustrated in fig. 6. The risers and flowlines of the invention are not so limited.

The body (framework) 31 as the innermost layer is disposed so that the riser (or flowline) 30 can withstand a high pressure even in the case of deep sea use, and can maintain the pipe shape. The 1 st layer 32 is disposed as a fluid barrier layer on the outer periphery of the body 31. The layer 1 32 prevents the material flowing inside the riser (or flowline) from leaking to the outside.

A 2 nd layer 33, a 1 st reinforcing layer 34, and a 2 nd reinforcing layer 35 as reinforcing layers are disposed on the outer periphery of the 1 st layer 32. These layers have the function of preventing the risers (or flowlines) from breaking due to the pressure of the material flowing inside. The 1 st reinforcement layer 34 and the 2 nd reinforcement layer 35 may be made of metal, and may be formed of metal strips rolled in opposite directions to each other so as to be able to withstand stress acting in different directions. A friction resistant layer may be disposed between the 1 st reinforcing layer 34 and the 2 nd reinforcing layer 35. The 2 nd layer 33 is a layer formed by winding the belt of the present invention around the outer periphery of the 1 st layer 32, which reinforces the 1 st layer. This layer is made of metal in the conventional riser. Therefore, although 3 metal layers are provided in the conventional riser, the number of the metal layers in the riser 30 can be reduced to 2. In order to reduce the number of metal reinforcing layers, the 1 st reinforcing layer 34 or the 2 nd reinforcing layer 35 may be formed by winding the belt of the present invention, and 2 or more reinforcing layers may be formed by winding the belt of the present invention.

In order to prevent damage to the 1 st layer 32 that may occur due to contact with the metal reinforcing layer, a thermoplastic resin layer may be provided between the 1 st layer 32 and the body 31. The outer resin 36 is located on the outer periphery of the 1 st reinforcing layer 34 and the 2 nd reinforcing layer 35, and has a function of partitioning the inside and the outside of the riser (or the flow pipe). The outer layer resin 36 may be formed of polyethylene or polyamide.

The sheet or tape of the present invention can also be used for applications other than risers and flowlines, for example, whether underground, above ground, or subsea, and can be suitably used as a sheet or tape for forming a friction-resistant layer of fluid-carrying metal piping for crude oil or natural gas. Crude oil and natural gas contain carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide which cause corrosion of metal pipes, and these components may be blocked to suppress corrosion of metal pipes or reduce fluid friction of high-viscosity crude oil. In addition, for bonding to a metal, an adhesive may be used or a metal surface may be roughened. The sheet or the tape of the present invention is suitable as a gasket or a seal of a non-contact type or a contact type gasket (a self-tightening seal, a piston ring, a split ring seal, a mechanical seal, an oil seal, etc.) or the like, which requires heat resistance, oil resistance, fuel oil resistance, LLC resistance, vapor resistance, etc., and a bellows, a diaphragm, a hose, a pipe, an electric wire, etc., in a high-temperature portion around an automobile engine or a portion requiring chemical resistance (for example, an engine body, a main motion system, a valve motion system, a lubrication cooling system, a fuel system, an intake and exhaust system, etc., a transmission system of a drive system, a control system of a chassis, a brake system, etc., a basic electric component of an electric apparatus, a control system electric component of a control system, an equipment electric component, etc.).
