The invention relates to a system for coating an optical glass fiber comprising a radiation-curable inner primary coating composition and a radiation-curable outer primary coating composition wherein:
said inner primary coating composition comprises an oligomer having at least one functional group capable of polymerizing under the influence of radiation, said inner primary coating composition after radiation cure having the combination of properties of:
(a) a fiber pull-out friction of less than 40 g/mm at stripping temperature;
(b) a crack propagation of greater than 1.0 mm at stripping temperature;
(c) a glass transition temperature of below 10°C; and
(d) sufficient adhesion to said glass fiber to prevent delamination in the presence of moisture and during handling; and
said outer primary coating composition comprises an oligomer having at least one functional group capable of polymerizing under the influence of radiation, said outer primary coating composition after radiation cure having the combination of properties of:
(e) a glass transition temperature of above 40°C; and
(f) a modulus of elasticity of between about 10 MPa to about 40 MPa at stripping temperature;
and wherein the ratio of the change in length of said inner primary coating composition, after radiation cure, to the change in length of said outer primary coating composition, after radiation cure, is less than 2 when said cured compositions are heated from 25°C to stripping temperature.
The invention further relates to an inner primary coating, a coated optical fiber and a ribbon assembly with such a coated optical fiber having above described characteristics.
