gels, spun SAF yarns, and water blocking tapes • Enables faster, more economical and robust cable manufacturing • Increases durability and abrasion resistance by encapsulating filaments in the fiber bundle • Extends the life of the product by reducing the effects of friction and yarn on yarn abrasion • Protects the fiber from degradation and filamentation • Ideal for high abrasion and high friction applications in a range of fiber constructions and environments • Wicking refers to the tendency of a yarn or other fiber to draw moisture into filaments via capillary action • Coatings designed to prevent moisture from wicking within and between fibers and strands • Protects Wire or Optical Fiber from damaging effects of moisture, which can cause a drop in signal and attenuation • Hydrophobic additives used to promote and enhance water repellancy in industrial applications • Creates a waterproof barrier that prevents moisture from further migration • Applied at various % levels

These materials can also deteriorate with ultraviolet (UV) and chemical exposure from sunlight and cleaning. EZR Sport wanted a flexible foam grip that could be chemically resistant to gun oil and diethyltoluamide or DEET (the most common active chemical ingredient in insect repellents), UV resistant for longer-lasting aesthetics, and compliant with California’s Proposition 65 law (requiring businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, congenital disabilities or other reproductive harm). This technology also helps achieve superior grip properties, improving haptics for a better sense of touch and feel while remaining UV- resistant, chemical resistant to DEET and oils, and bio-compatible.
