preparation example Construction

[0085] Various polyols can be used in the preparation of oligomers. Examples of suitable polyols are polyether polyols, polyester polyols, polycarbonate polyols, polycaprolactone polyols, acrylate polyols, and the like. These polyols may be used alone or in combination of two or more. There is no particular limitation on the polymerization method of the structural units in these polyols: any of random polymerization, block polymerization or graft polymerization is acceptable.

[0086] Polyols suitable for use in the preparation of oligomers may have a molecular weight of about 1000 or higher, suitably about 1500 or higher, and even more suitably about 2000 or higher. Suitably, the MW may be about 8000 or less, more suitably about 6000 or less.

[0087] Examples of suitable polyols and hydroxyl-containing (meth)acrylates are disclosed in WO 00 / 18696, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Preferably, polypropylene glycol (MW=4200) is used (eg Acclaim 400 from Bayer).

Embodiment

[0142] Test methods for tensile strength, elongation and modulus:

[0143] Tensile properties (tensile strength, elongation at break, and modulus) of cured samples of radiation-curable primary coatings for optical fibers were tested using an Instron Model 4201 universal tester equipped with an appropriate personal computer and Instron software to obtain tensile Values ​​for strength, elongation at break, secant modulus, or split modulus. Samples for testing were prepared by curing a 75 μm film of material using a Fusion UV processor. Samples in nitrogen atmosphere, 1.0J / cm 2 Next solidify. Test strips 0.5 inches wide by 5 inches long were cut from the film. The precise thickness of each sample was measured using a micrometer. For relatively soft coatings (eg, those with a modulus less than about 10 MPa), the coating was drawn and then cured on a glass plate, from which individual samples were cut with a scalpel. The modulus was calculated at 2.5% elongation in the Instr...

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This patent application claims priority to co-pending US Provisional Patent Application 60 / 874,731, "BJ Radiation Curable Primary Coating for Optical Fiber," filed December 14, 2006, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a radiation curable coating for use as a primary coating for an optical fiber, to an optical fiber coated with such a coating and to a method of producing such a coated optical fiber. Background technique [0004] Optical fibers are typically coated with two or more radiation curable coatings. These coatings are usually applied to the fiber in liquid form and then cured by exposure to radiation. The type of radiation useful for curing such coatings should be one capable of initiating polymerization of one or more radiation curable components of such coatings. Radiation suitable for curing such coatings is well known and i...
