Cablelite® Inks
The Cablelite® inks are optimized for loose tube and ribbon designs. They are fast curing; display robust processing at various line speeds with consistent cure; and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) resistance for all 12 colors
The Cablelite® inks product potrfolio is specially formulated to color code optical fibers. Our inks are designed to offer maximum processing line speeds compared to other UV-curable inks, without compromising final ink performance.
Featured Products
Cablelite® 751
Cablelite® 751 Series UV-curable inks are specially formulated to color code optical fibers. These inks are designed to offer maximum processing line speeds compared to other UV-curable inks, without compromising final ink performance.
Product Benefits• Fast Cure: Cablelite® 751 Series inks have demonstrated up to a 50% increase in line speed, without compromising cure results, compared to other UV curable inks. When cured using high power microwave bulbs, line speeds in excess of 1800 m/ min have been demonstrated.
• Narrow Viscosity Range: All colors within the Cablelite® 751 Series are comparable in viscosity. This allows for no or little process adjustments required between colors. The overall low viscosity allows these inks to be processed successfully on many different types of coloring lines.
• EIA-359-A Munsell Color Compliant: Film thickness between 3 to 5 microns produces glossy, vibrant colors that satisfy the EIA-359-A color specification. Cablelite® 751 Series inks provide the required opacity to distinguish between colors in low light conditions without sacrificing LID performance.
