Hydro Defender™
The backbone of the Info-Gel portfolio, these materials are designed for use in standard fiber optic cable systems and have a long history of use.
LA444
Used in loose tube fiber optic applications utilizing PBT for tube manufacturing. Excellent drip/burn test performance and cold temperature effectiveness.
Request SDS / TDS / Product InfoK880
Primarily used in loose tube fiber optic cables with PBT tubes. Lower viscosity allows higher line speeds with high fill rate. Very effective at colder temperatures.
Request SDS / TDS / Product InfoK885
Thixotropic compound suitable for filling and/or flooding the most common types of optical fiber cables, such as loose tube, slotted core, ribbon, etc. and good on PBT based jackets.
Request SDS / TDS / Product InfoK550
Suitable for filling and/or flooding optical fiber cables. Synthetic gel compatible with all polymers; primarily used with polypropylene (PP) in loose tube and ribbon cables. Extreme temperature range and high critical yield stress.
Request SDS / TDS / Product InfoK552
Thixotropic compound suitable for filling and/or flooding the most common types of optical fiber cables, such as loose tube, slotted core, ribbon, etc.
Request SDS / TDS / Product InfoWeight Defender™
Gels created with a lower than standard density reducing weight, greatly improving di-electric strength, and allowing less gel to be used for the same cable length.
LD345
Low-density compound for filling/flooding loose tube cables with PBT jacket. Good di-electric properties; used on copper, twisted pair, and low-to-medium voltage cables. Also used in fiber optic cables to reduce weight; popular for ADSS cable types.
Request SDS / TDS / Product InfoFlame Defender™
Gel capable of self-extinguishing in <10 seconds when exposed to intense flames that can be a critical component in meeting Riser or Plenum ratings for cables.
FR27
FR27 is a flame retardant gel for filling and/or flooding power, optical, and hybrid cables. Produced with a synthetic base, lower viscosity, and can be cold pumped — providing added benefit against migration or 'leaching' into polyethylene jackets.
Request SDS / TDS / Product InfoHeat Defender™
Additives and base materials designed to survive in harsh environments up to 300°C.
LA1000
Thixotropic compound suitable for filling and/or flooding the most common types of optical fiber cables, such as loose tube, slotted core, ribbon, etc.
Request SDS / TDS / Product InfoLA4000
Thixotropic high temperature gel suitable for filling and/or flooding optical fiber and energy cables. Synthetic gel compatible with all polymers.
Request SDS / TDS / Product InfoH2 Defender™ – HX Line
Additives that absorb hydrogen to prevent yellowing of the fiber. Usually paired with a high temperature gel, but can be made from any gel. The level of hydrogen uptake can be tailored from 0.2 cc H2/gram of gel in 72 hours (standard gel) to almost any level higher.
LAHX60
Thixotropic hydrogen scavenging compound for filling/flooding optical fiber cables in harsh environments including OPGW, Submarine, and Downhole applications. Cold temperature effectiveness qualified at -60°C.
Request SDS / TDS / Product InfoLA4000HX
High temperature gel utilizing a hydrogen scavenging component within the LA4000 base gel. Hydrogen absorption manageable for any degree of exposure to free hydrogen.
Request SDS / TDS / Product InfoExtended Thermoplastic Rubber™
A thermoplastic material that is solid at room temperature with a significant drop in viscosity as the temperature rises to allow easy processing. Customizable by drop point (60°C up to 150°C), tackiness, and polymer flexibility.
FC28
Thermoplastic rubber for flooding copper/aluminum cables with a drop point of 90°C.
