DeSolite® DF-0016 Optical Fiber Coating (Splicing and Recoat Matrix Coating), UV Cure (1 oz)
DeSolite® DF-0016 Optical Fiber Recoat and Splicing Matrix Coating, UV Cure (1 oz)
Part Number: COV-DF-0016-1OZ
The DeSolite® DF-0016 is a UV-curable optical fiber recoating material specifically formulated for fiber repair, recoating, and splicing applications. Designed to restore protective coatings removed during fiber preparation and fusion splicing, DF-0016 helps maintain optical performance while providing a durable protective layer around exposed fiber sections.
Its low refractive index and excellent optical clarity make it particularly suitable for applications where minimal light distortion and low haze are essential. The coating's flexible, low-modulus characteristics help reduce stress on the fiber, supporting reliable performance in both laboratory and field environments.
DF-0016 is commonly used as a primary recoating material and is often protected with an additional secondary coating layer, such as DeSolite® DS-2015, when increased mechanical strength or environmental protection is required.
Packaged in a convenient 1 oz bottle, this coating is ideal for fiber optic technicians, research laboratories, cable manufacturers, and telecommunications maintenance professionals.
