Water-blocking yarn, a new product - porous fiber water-swelling water –blocking yarn used for the water blocking of new types of dry-type optical cables, is developed and produced by the Company based on new water-blocking technologies in optical and electric cable production at home and abroad. It is characterized by advantages like fast water absorption speed, high expansion ratio, strong tension stress, no acid and base, no compatible effect exerted on cables, thermo stability, chemical stability and non-corrosiveness etc. In the manufacturing process of optical cables, the filling of materials like cable jelly, water-blocking tape and fastening yarn etc. can be omitted.
