Abstract :
A new UV-curable primary coating material, polybutadiene acrylate (PBA), has been developed. The new acrylate has much lower modulus at low temperature than epoxy and urethane acrylates. The transmission loss increase at low temperature for coated fibres is related to the modulus value for coatings.
