DSM Launches Third Generation Optical Coatings

Business News Agency June 2 News DSM, DSM's Asia Pacific market development manager for DSM Fiber Optic & Cable Materials Division, recently stated that DSM's DeSolite Supercoatings, a third-generation fiber coating, has made fiber more compact than other fiber coatings. Effectively prevent signal attenuation. Liu Yan said, “As operators deploy fiber to the home, the demand for optical fiber increases, and the third-generation fiber coating DeSolite Supercoatings can reduce the diameter by 20%.” He added, “The compactness of the fiber is reduced after its size is reduced. Can make the optical fiber diameter of 200 microns or 250 microns, which can reduce the pipeline occupancy rate and reduce the overall pipeline rental costs." In addition to the compactness of the optical fiber, Liu Yan said that the third-generation coating is the biggest advantage can help The optical fiber plays a role in anti-micro bending, which can prevent the signal attenuation and reduction of the optical fiber.

In terms of costs, "the use of third-generation optical fiber coatings will increase the initial purchase by 10 to 20%." Liu Yan said, "But in the long run, such as the 25-year deadline, DSM is in Marseille, France. Experiments conducted by cities such as Chennaviere indicated that Marseille can reduce the cost by 17% compared with traditional fiber coatings, and Xie Naweier can reduce by 15%. According to experts, in cooperation with Chinese companies, DSM Mann has signed a long-term cooperation agreement with Changfei. The cooperation period is four years. DSM has been engaged in the development of optical fiber materials for more than 40 years and has more than 100 patents in the field of fiber optic cable materials. In the 1970s, the first generation of UV-curable fiber coatings was developed and currently holds 80% of the global fiber coating market share.
