To prevent failures and increase fibre longevity, PEEK reinforced optical fibre is ruggedized with protection against abrasion and physical strain. Due to its superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to other thermoplastics, PEEK Coating is particularly useful for the aerospace sector’s fire detection systems.
PEEK is a zero-halogen material that has low smoke and toxicity and a high Young’s modulus outer layer with outstanding chemical and abrasion resistance.
Polyether ether ketone is referred to as PEEK. It is a polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family organic thermoplastic material that is beige in colour and used in engineering applications. It retains its outstanding mechanical and chemical resistance qualities at high temperatures.
When temperatures change, PEEK demonstrates compressive strength and instability that can cause attenuation. Dealing with optical fibre including gratings might provide difficulties. We discovered that compression could result in distorted peaks in fibre Bragg ratings.
Physical strains to the fibre as the coating cools below its glass transition temperature have been experienced when adding PEEK coating to optical fibre. These distortions, which include compression, bending, and other deformations, might affect optical fibres.
When bare fibre fails in challenging situations, PEEK reinforced optical fibre is utilised. It is employed for G.657.A1 and G.652.D compliant sensing, instrumentation, and light delivery.
In aerospace fire detection systems, PEEK coated optical fibres are employed. Additionally, PEEK coated optical fibres are utilised in medical equipment like endoscopes.
ITU-T Recommendation-compliant single-mode optical fibre G.657.A1 is bend-insensitive. G.657. Single-mode optical fibre G.652.D complies with G.652 of the ITU-T Recommendation.
