Benefits of technology

[0007] The present invention provides a curable composition, comprising: a (meth)acrylate urethane compound derived from a polypropylene glycol or a copolymer comprising propyleneoxide and ethyleneoxide (herein after also just named polypropyleneglycol) having a molecular weight between 1,000 and 13,000 and an amount of unsaturation less than 0.01 meq / g, and / or mixtures of (meth)acrylate urethane compounds derived from such a polypropylene glycol and other polyols. The liquid curable resin composition of the present invention has improved liquid stability, and improved cure speed; the cured products have superior mechanical characteristics. The liquid curable resin composition can be used as a coating material for optical fibers, adhesives, and the like. The composition is particularly suitable as a coating material for optical fibers for which long-term stability is required. Also, the composition can be formulated to achieve low Tg, e.g. between −70° C. and −30° C.
[0008] In particular, the compositions of the present invention offer relatively fast cure speeds which offer advantages in many applications, including the production of fiber optics wherein production speeds make it desirable to utilize primary coatings, secondary coatings (including, for example transparent and / or colored secondary coatings), inks, matrix materials and / or bundling materials that can be cured rapidly.

Problems solved by technology

In the production of optical fibers and optical fiber assemblies, one of the limitations on how fast the production line can be operated is the cure speed of the coatings and / or binder.
If the resin composition solidifies entirely or partially during storage by (e.g.) flocculation or crystallization, the composition must be heated to avoid any problems in the coating process of the optical fibers, thereby impairing handling of the resin composition.
