The OF product line features different grades of coatings with varying characteristics to meet specific customer needs. For example, OF-3 is a high-strength coating that is ideal for applications requiring increased abrasion resistance and tensile strength. On the other hand, OF-5 is a low-stress coating that can withstand extreme temperatures without cracking or peeling.
-
All grades within the OF product line exhibit superior processability and are easy to apply via various coating methods, such as dip-coating, spray-coating, or ink-jet printing. They are also water-resistant and display excellent optical properties, ensuring minimal attenuation of the transmitted signal.

OF product line is a reliable option for manufacturers in the optical fiber industry who need primary coatings that provide excellent protection, processability, and optical performance. With their superior adhesion, strength, and environmental resistance, these coatings help to ensure the longevity and reliability of fiber optic systems in a range of applications, including telecommunications, data centers, medical devices, and industrial automation.
OF-133-V2 (RI=1.33) enables a breakthrough Numerical Aperture of 0.6. Its close relative, OF-134-V2, couples a low index of 1.34 with a relatively high modulus of 20 MPa.The high NA of these products can significantly increase the efficiency of optical amplifiers and fiber lasers.
For demanding applications, customers choose the combination of very high modulus and very high adhesion offered by OF-138(index 1.38), OF-139-N, and OF-140-N. These tough coatings are preferred for fibers that are subjected to high mechanical stresses and high temperatures.
