1. Thixotropic and Mineral Oil-Based Gels These gels are soft, flexible, and water-blocking compounds used to fill loose tube and slotted fiber optic cables. They are typically based on highly refined mineral oils and remain stable across a wide temperature range, resisting oxidation and preventing oil separation . Their thixotropic nature allows them to stay in place without draining, providing longitudinal water blocking and cushioning fibers to reduce attenuation and mechanical stress . 2. Water-Blocking Tapes Dry water-blocking tapes are made with super-absorbent swelling resins embedded in polymer coatings or non-woven fabrics. These tapes expand upon contact with water, sealing gaps and preventing moisture penetration. They are available in single-sided, double-sided, or laminated designs, offering moisture-proofing, buffering, and waterproofing for optical cables . Modern tapes are thin, dust-free, and have rapid expansion with stable gel formation. 3. Superabsorbent Polymer (SAP) Yarns Swellcoat™ and similar SAP-impregnated fibers are used as fillers or binder threads in dry cable designs. These fibers can absorb up to 100 times their weight in water, forming a stable gel that blocks water along the cable length. Lower-level SAP finishes, like Swellcoat™ Blocker, provide reinforcement and water-blocking for technical fibers or textiles, ensuring dry cable performance without compromising flexibility .
