Coating protects fibers in extreme thermal conditions
Stirling, N.J. - Providing optimal performance of fiber optics in extreme conditions, Fiberguide Industries offers a full line of standard optical fibers with polyimide coating.
Fiberguide's polyimide coating is ideal for oil and gas, aerospace, sensors, defense, medical and security applications requiring high temperature resistance. The coating withstands operating temperatures up to 400ºC (300ºC continuous), while conventional coatings such as acrylate, nylon and Tefzel® begin to deteriorate between 100ºC and 250ºC.
Additionally, Fiberguide's unique process of applying the coating results in a fiber of significantly reduced cross-sectional area. This low profile characteristic is optimal for use in bundles and supports spectral transmission from 160nm to 2500nm.
Polyimide coated fiber is available in step index, multimode fibers from 50µm cores to 600µm cores; 6.25µm/125µm and 50µm//125µm graded index; and 4.8µm/125µm and 9.2µm/125µm single mode fibers. The fiber offers high performance optical and mechanical specifications with tight dimension tolerances providing high uniformity and lot-to-lot consistency.
