To increase burst capablity is there a way to incorporate polyester coagulent filler into polyurethane raw material pelets that may in-turn add strength to the final (tubing) product?

You might try posting under pipe and tubing.

Unless you are able to braid the material so it is self reinforcing against the PU tube, it is unlikley you would get any improvement in strength. The biggest issue, amoung many, would be the chemical incompatability between the Polyester and the PU.
