UV-Opti-Clad: Fiber 0ptic Cladding Polymers
UV-Opti-›Clad™:

UV-Opti-›Clad™ is a UV curable index specific polymer solution that produces low VOC and is 100% solid after curing. It is available as thermoplastic (UV-Opti-›Clad™ RM/EM) or thermoset (UV-Opti-›Clad™ RCM/ECM) formulations.
New Very Low Refractive Index of 1.33
(equal to water)

S-Opti-Clad: Thermoplastic Polymer Solutions
S-Opti-›Clad™:

Our S-Opti-›Clad™ deposits as a thermoplastic polymer from an evaporative solution and is therefore not cross-linked. Our new process for the manufacture of controlled index and polymer molecular weight generates smoother coatings and has drawn considerable interest worldwide.

Index Specific Polymers
Customers can request samples of cladding polymers with properties other than standard properties. Our refractive index measurements are conducted at 589nm with a sample temperature of 25°C. Formulations can be supplied in a wide variety of solution viscosities. Polymer physical properties may range from durometer A-elastomer to D-rigid. Cladding compositions may be formulated for adhesion to a variety of substrates while maintaining the desired refractive index with an accuracy of 0.001 +/- 0.0005 units.
