DeSolite® is a UV-curable material widely used as a coating for optical fibers.
It cures in a short time upon exposure to ultraviolet light, forming a tough, reliable protective layer that ensures long-term performance. As a coating material that protects delicate fibers, it is used by many optical fiber manufacturers.
The Covestro Group offers DeSolite® in countries around the world. In Japan, it has been provided for many years under this name as a high-quality coating material.
