D 1364 BT SECONDARY COATINGS ON OPTICAL FIBRE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC C09D175/04 C09D175/16 C03C25/10 C03C25/26 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: radiation curable secondary coating composition contains an alpha-oligomer which does not contain urethane, obtained by reacting the following components: (a) an acrylate compound selected from an alcohol-containing acrylate or alcohol-containing methacrylate compound, (b) an anhydride compound, (c) an expoxide-containing compound, (d) an optional chain extending compound, and (e) an optional catalyst. Said composition additionally contains a beta-oligomer, said beta-oligomer being different from said alpha-oligomer, said beta-oligomer obtained by reacting 1) hydroxyethyl acrylate; 2) one or more diisocyanates; 3) a glycol selected from a group consisting of polyether polyols and polyester polyols. The polyester polyols are obtained by reacting a polyatomic alcohol with a polybasic acid, wherein the polyether polyols are selected from a group consisting of polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, a copolymer of polypropylene glycol and ethylene glycol, polytetramethylene glycol, polyhexamethylene glycol, polyheptamethylene glycol and polydecamethylene glycol; and 4) a catalyst. The invention also relates to a wire and an optical fibre having a secondary coating made from said composition.

EFFECT: high rate of curing the coating while ensuring desirable coating properties, such as modulus of elasticity, impact viscosity and elongation.
