Impregnated Glass Fibre Reinforcement NWB / WB
Product Description :
The Impregnated Glass Fibre Reinforcement products are manufactured from E-glass roving and polyurethane / super absorbent polymer resins. The IGR products are available in Natural / Light Green for Non Water Blocking type and natural / Light Blue for Water Blocking type. Mainly these IGR are used as reinforcement for optical fiber cables. These have the following advantages: Improved tensile strength, excellent surface finishing, rodent protection, no loose fibers, and flame resistance.
