Fiberguide’s Silica Core/Silica Clad/Hard Polymer Coated/Polymer Outer Coated fibers are similar to the Silica Core/Silica Clad/Polymer Coated Fiber, except there is an added layer of hard polymer on top of the silica cladding. This hard coat serves as stable buffer layer that ensures a sufficient bond between the silica cladding and the polymer outer coating, making these fibers the ideal choice for a variety of medical applications.
