OPTRAN® POLYIMIDE UV/WF
Polyimide Coated Silica/Silica Fiber
Innovative Fiber Optics...Every Step of the Way™
CeramOptec’s polyimide coated fibers are ideal for applications requiring high temperature capability.
While acrylate, nylon, and Tefzel® coatings start to deteriorate between 100˚ and 250˚C, CeramOptec’s
unique polyimide coated fibers can withstand temperatures up to 400˚C. In addition, this thin
jacketing is ideal for use in bundles and supports spectral transmission from 160 to 2500 nm.
