Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/15/2018 -- Global Optical Fiber Coatings Market: Introduction
Optical fibers are used for transmitting the light. An optical fiber is a transparent and flexible fiber which is drawn out of glass (silica) or plastic. An optical fiber is very small in diameter. This fiber is slightly thicker than the human hair strand. It can also be as thick as the hair strand. Optical fibers have revolutionized the telecommunication industry, due to their remarkable properties such as ability of multiplexing several signals in a single fiber and resistance to harsh environmental conditions. For use in high temperatures, optical fibers need to be coated in order to avoid damage. Primary and secondary coating layers need to be applied on optical fibers to achieve properties such as low ink adhesion, fiber friction and high modulus, high viscosity, high refractive index, low-temperature micro-bending loss, delamination resistance, long-term durability, and fiber strength.

Global Optical Fiber Coatings Market: Overview
The global medical fiber optics industry is expected to expand significantly during the forecast period. This is likely to drive the optical fiber coatings market, owing to the rising demand for optically coated fibers in this industry. These fibers are used for procedures involving endoscope placement, monitoring of movement of tiny catheters, robotic surgeries, vascular procedures and detection, bio-sensing, and precision biopsy. These procedures require invasive equipment with high efficiency, accuracy, and precision.
The rising demand for sensing cables or fiber optic sensors for measuring strain, composition, and other parameters at high temperatures in the oil & gas industry is driving the demand for specialty optical fibers. This, in turn, is generating high demand for optically coated fibers for sensing and EMI shielding applications at high temperatures. In April 2017, Fibercore launched multimode (MM) and single-mode (SM) optically coated fibers for use in continuous distributed temperature sensing (DTS) to achieve constant thermal monitoring of turbines.
