distortion forces such as shear and tension and possess flexibility as well as adhesive properties the material of the reinforcement material 22 can be compatible with any metallic corrugated tubing such as 300 series stainless steel corrugated tubing 12 the reinforcement material 22 can also protect the material of the corrugated tubing 12 from degradation as a result of exposure to harsh environments the same protection provided by conventional jackets co polyesters polyethylene stabilized polymers non chlorinated polymers and non halogenated polymers and in general polymers can be used the reinforcement material 22 can be extruded into the corrugations of corrugated tubing 12 the use of other manufacturing processes can be employed to dispose the reinforcement material 22 onto the exterior surface 14 of the corrugated tubing 12 in one embodiment the reinforcement material 22 is driven into the valleys 20 to substantially fill valleys 20 and covers peaks 18 as the reinforcement material 22 is extruded it is substantially molten and flows down into the corrugations of the corrugated tubing 12 the molten reinforcement material 22 cools on the corrugated tubing 12 the molten reinforcement material substantially fills the valleys 20 and covers the peaks 18 in an alternate embodiment a polymer reinforcement material 22 is extruded down into the corrugations and then cured e g through heat the reinforcement material 22 may be applied so that the reinforcement material 22 bonds to substantially the entire exterior surface 14 the optional bonding of the reinforcement material 22 to the exterior surface 14 can be mechanical bonding or chemical bonding such that reinforcement material 22 substantially adheres to the exterior surface 14 of the corrugated tubing 12 also by being located in the.
