A process of manufacturing a polyolefin drag reducing agent comprises: injecting a catalyst and a drag reducing agent forming component comprising (i) at least one olefin monomer, or (ii) at least one olefin oligomer, or a combination of (i) and (ii) into a temporary container comprising a container material, sealing the temporary container; allowing the drag reducing agent forming component to polymerize in the sealed temporary container to form the polyolefin drag reducing agent; and at least partially dissolving the container material. The container material includes an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer, a polyvinylpyrrolidone, an ethylene vinylpyrrolidone copolymer, a vinylpyrrolidone vinyl acetate copolymer, a polyvinyl acetate, a polyvinyl alcohol, a polyethylene glycol, a polysaccharide or its derivative, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing, provided that when the container material comprises polyvinyl acetate or polyvinyl alcohol, the temporary container is coated or has two or more layers.

A motor vehicle cooling fluid flow pipe, such as an engine cooling fluid pipe, characterized in that the wall of the pipe is constituted by a single layer made of a polymer material comprising a mixture of at least two polymer materials of different natures, one of which, referred to as a first material, being a polyolefin, and the other of which, referred to as a second material, being a thermoplastic polymer elastomer (TPE).

The method of manufacturing this pipe comprises an operation of mixing at least the polyolefin and the thermoplastic polymer elastomer (TPE), a step of extruding said mixture in a screw extruder followed by a step of forming the pipe, the operation of mixing the polyolefin and the thermoplastic polymer elastomer (TPE) being performed upstream from the extruder or at its inlet.
