FEATURES
• Created for
applications where
an untreated fiber
does not have the
ability to provide the
appropriate amount
of bonding
characteristics to
another material
• Provides adhesion to
another fiber or
substrate without
impacting other
performance
properties
• Improves adhesion
of the fiber to the
resin matrix it is
introduced into
• Enables industry
standard “burst”
tests or stringent
delamination
analysis
• Designed to achieve
vibrant colors for
safety, identification,
and aesthetics
• Specialized formulas
and binders adhere
the pigment to the
exterior of the
individual filaments,
while impregnating
deep into the fiber
bundle
• Available by Pantone
or RAL number
• Compatible with a
variety of composite
resins including
epoxy, polyurethane,
and polyethylene
• Stronger than
solution-dyed fibers
• Designed to add
lubricity and
temperature
resistance at the
filament level for
braided compression
packing
• Coating at the fiber
level versus the
finished braid
achieves higher %
level coating
• Fiber level coating
extends the life of
the braid and
reduces required
maintenance
• Various formulations
available
• PTFE, silicone,
graphite, and
mineral oil
• Created for high
performance fibers
that lack inherent
ultraviolet (UV)
resistance
• Coating impregnates
the individual fibers
with a specialized
resin for improved
UV protection
• Coating
enhancements
include UV inhibitors,
absorbers and
stabilizers
• Improves the
processing of the
product via reduced
filament snagging
and friction
• Low level water-
blocking finish for
any technical fiber or
textile substrate
• Provides water-
blocked strength
reinforcements for
dry cable designs
• Can absorb 5x to 15x
its weight in water
• Dust-free coating
imparts a very soft
fiber hand,
advantageous to
cable, rope, and
other textile
processes
• Patented technology
incorporates super
absorbent polymer (SAP)
suspended in a
proprietary resin matrix
• Used in the production
of ‘dry-dry’
telecommunications,
electromechanical,
seismic, umbilical and
power cables
• Can absorb up to 100x
its weight in water
• Creates a stable gel
when exposed to water
• Functionally replaces
flooding compounds,
filling gels, spun SAF
yarns, and water
blocking tapes
• Enables faster, more
economical and robust
cable manufacturing
• Increases durability and
abrasion resistance by
encapsulating filaments
in the fiber bundle
• Extends the life of the
product by reducing the
effects of friction and
yarn on yarn abrasion
• Protects the fiber
from degradation and
filamentation
• Ideal for high abrasion
and high friction
applications in a range
of fiber constructions
and environments
• Wicking refers to the
tendency of a yarn
or other fiber to draw
moisture into filaments
via capillary action
• Coatings designed to
prevent moisture from
wicking within and
between fibers and
strands
• Protects Wire or Optical
Fiber from damaging
effects of moisture,
which can cause a drop
in signal and attenuation
• Hydrophobic additives
used to promote and
enhance water
repellancy in industrial
applications
• Creates a waterproof
barrier that prevents
moisture from further
migration
• Applied at various %
levels to optimize for
water-proof ratings
• Designed to inhibit or
slow the spread of
fire/flame
• Coupled to fibers with
inherent flame and
thermal resistance to
boost performance
• Added to fibers with
weak flame resistance
to improve burn rating

At the
recommended use levels in CSD (carbonated
soft drinks) applications (around 5ppm), the
blue toner is not required and a reduced
amount of the red toner may be desirable (in
some cases red toner can also be eliminated;
this depends on the inherent color of the resin
and so cannot be specified here)
