For
High Speed Cable Manufacturing
Fil–Tec engineering has developed a proprietary process that renders polyester, nylon and aramid fibers anti–wicking — non–hydroscopic (Hydrophobic). The products also exhibit low shrinkage and uniform elongation that have minimal effect on the quality of base fibers’ initial characteristics. Multiple denier sizes are available. Designed for operating speeds of 4000+ RPM on soft buffer tube fiber optic cables.

| ADVANTAGES |
BENEFITS |
| Exceeds 4000+ RPM. | Large downline profit jump for cable manufacturers. |
| Anti–wicking — Non–hydroscopic (Hydrophobic). | Ensures non–capillary moisture penetration in cables. <1.0% moisture regain. Exceeds requirements of US FED. Test method 4504–191A. |
| Tacked packages. Shore hardness 70+. Long yield packages. | Uniform tensions during processing eliminates ballooning. Higher speed processing. Efficiency gains. Reduced waste. Downline profits. |
| Balanced concentric tubes. Uniform package size. | Reduces bearing and binder head maintenance costs. Increases operating efficiencies. Reduces costly waste and downtime. Consistent long–length manufacturing. |
| High tenacity, low shrinkage yarns. Straight edge precision wind. | Ensures yarn dimensional stability during and after processing. Uniform yarn spacing in binding. Minimizes attenuation due to binder yarn failure. |
| Chemical impregnation of yarn additives. | Elimates “build–up” at yarn guides. Reduces “gas–outs” in high–speed and high–temp jacketing operations. |
| Multiple tube dimensions. | Products designed to meet cable manufacturers’ multiple types of binder head equipment. |
