Patent number: 10640654Abstract: A coating composition containing a radiation-curable component, a photoinitiator, and a UV absorber is described. The coating composition may be applied to an optical fiber and cured to form a coating. The UV absorber provides a protective function by inhibiting unintended curing of the coating that may occur upon exposure of the fiber to UV light during fiber processing. The spectral overlap of the photoinitiator and UV absorber is minimized to permit efficient photoinitiation of the curing reaction over one or more wavelengths. Photoinitiation may be excited by an LED source with a peak emission wavelength in the range from 360 nm-410 nm.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2016Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Michael Edward DeRosa, Michelle Dawn Fabian, Stephan Lvovich Logunov, James Robert Matthews, Manuela Ocampo

Publication number: 20180127593Abstract: Fiber coatings with low Young's modulus, high tear strength, and/or high critical stress are realized with coating compositions that include an oligomeric material formed from an isocyanate, a hydroxy acrylate compound and a polyol. The oligomeric material includes a polyether urethane acrylate and a di-adduct compound. The reaction mixture used to form the oligomeric material includes a molar ratio of isocyanate:hydroxy acrylate:polyol of n:m:p, where when p is 2, n is in the range from 3.0 to 5.0 and m is in the range from 1.50n-3 to 2.50n-5. Control of the n:m:p ratio leads to compositions that, when cured, provide coatings and cured products having high critical stress, high tear strength, and a high ratio of tear strength to Young's modulus.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2017Publication date: May 10, 2018Inventors: Yangbin Chen, Ching-Kee Chien, Michael Edward DeRosa, Inna Igorevna Kouzmina, Pushkar Tandon, Ruchi Tandon
