【発明の詳細な説明】 本発明は樹脂組成物で被覆した光伝送用ガラスフ−fイ

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a glass fiber for optical transmission coated with a resin composition, and more particularly to a glass fiber for optical transmission that is suitable for improving productivity.

Generally, quartz glass is mainly used as the material for optical fibers. However, even if there are minute defects on this glass surface, 14! The mechanical strength is significantly reduced, making it impractical. Therefore, a method has been proposed in which a liquid rubber or resin composition is applied to the surface of a glass fiber and baked using an electric furnace or the like.

However, such a method has a slow curing speed and requires large equipment to increase productivity. In addition, in order to increase the curing speed, there is a method of using a highly reactive composition, but in this case, it hardens as soon as it comes into contact with the optical fiber that has residual heat from drawing, so it does not affect the surface of the optical fiber. It may harden before coating, making continuous coating of long optical fibers difficult.

本発明は斯かる状況に鑑み、製造面における生産性の高

In view of this situation, the present invention aims to provide a coated optical fiber with high productivity in terms of manufacturing.

A feature of the present invention is that the surface of a glass fiber for optical transmission is coated with a photocurable composition mainly composed of polysiloxane containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond in the molecule,
This photocurable composition has a structure that is cured by ultraviolet irradiation.

Here, the term "boria oxano" containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond refers to a liquid silicone rubber having a carbon-carbon double bond at the chain end or at the end. In general, addition-polymerized liquid silicone rubber such as RT/Licone rubber and LPS (Licone product) are usually composed of two components, one of which is carbon-carbon. It is borinorokidunes with carbon double bonds. However, it is not necessarily limited to this. In addition,
These components may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Further, it may be diluted with a plasticizer, a reactive diluent, an organic solvent, or the like.

Next, the coated glass fiber for forward feeding is passed through an ultraviolet curing device to cure the photocurable composition before coming into contact with other solid materials to form a coated optical fiber. Hardening is 1
This may be done in two steps, but it may also be done by semi-curing the surface to the extent that it will not stick even if it is soaked with solid matter, and then completely curing it with a culm.
