PYROCOAT® Polyimide Coated Optical Fibres
Supplier: OFS
Technology type: Speciality Fibres
PYROCOAT polyimide coated optical fibers are specifically chosen for harsh temperature sensing and communications environments.
PYROCOAT is a thin, hard coating that provides excellent thermal stability, excellent chemical resistance, and mechanical strength all in a small cross-section fiber.
Commercially available polyimide-coated fibers typically support less than one-year lifetime at 300°C. PYROCOAT delivers continuous lifetime temperatures of 275°C for up to 80 years, 300°C for up to 13 years, and can withstand 450°C for short-term (24 hour) periods.
