Optical fiber online inquiry, recently held "2014 China BBS" optical communication development and competitiveness, the Dutch royal DSM group released a new generation of optical fiber coating technology DeSolite Supercoatings. DSM Xu Ye FOM asia-pacific markets, fiber optic cable materials manager, said in an interview: "are equally important, optical fiber coatings and optical fiber preform preform determines the basic performance of optical fiber, optical fiber coatings, decided the environmental performance of optical fiber, optical fiber protection, and extend the service life of optical fiber." "
Xu Ye, according to a new generation of optical fiber coating technology DeSolite Supercoatings slightly bend in accordance with the first generation of outstanding performance, and through the dynamic fatigue parameters, higher fiber to further improve the service life of optical fiber. At the same time can support wet mixing fiber drawing tower of wet (WOD) and wet to dry (WOW) of high speed wire drawing process.
Xu Ye says, for optical fiber manufacturers, prefabricated rod materials is very important, it determines the basic performance, optical fiber attenuation, dispersion, such as wavelength, etc.; While optical fiber coating determines the environmental performance of optical fiber, such as bending resistance, heat resistance performance and so on. Coating can alleviate the impact of the environment on the optical fiber optical fiber's environment, thus to protect optical fiber, increasing the stability of the optical fiber itself performance, reduce the fiber is affected by the external stress, prolong the service life of optical fiber; In addition, the optical fiber coating also can guarantee the adaptability and stability of the fiber drawing process, such as the fire of 2800 m/min high-speed wire drawing technology, the demand for a long time some big preform continuous wire drawing and so on, puts forward new requirements to optical fiber coating, and the DSM DeSolite Supercoatings is a good way to meet these requirements.
Xu Ye introduction, from the point of cost, other relative optical fiber optical fiber coating materials appear insignificant, fiber coating for optical fiber cost is less than 10%. Costs are small, but its role in the protection fiber link is enough to cause operators and focus on the optical fiber cable manufacturer.
"Innovation has always been the DNA of DSM, in addition to the material on innovation. DSM the also launched new products can also smooth evolution to support the UV LED curing the fiber drawing system, compared with traditional UV curing, UV LED curing system in addition to save electricity, also because of its using LED lamp itself a long service life, less replacement of spare parts, further help fiber manufacturers to reduce production cost and power consumption." Xu Yejie finally added.
