WATER BLOCKINGTAPE
FIBER water blocking tapes have an excellent swelling property. When water enters into a cable protected by water blocking tape, the super absorbent powder within the tape instantly forms a water blocking gel. that prevents further and more costly damage to the cable.

WATER BLOCKINGYARN
FIBER Water Blocking Yarns are used in optical, copper telephone, data cable, and power cable as cable components. Yarns are used as fillers in power cables to provide a primary pressure block and to prevent water ingress and migration in fiber optical cables. When water enters into a cable protected by water blocking yarns, the super-absorbent component within the yarn instantly forms a water blocking gel. The yarn will swell to approximately three times its dry size.
Water Blocking Yarn – Product Data
| Product / Type | Denier (D) | Linear Density (m/kg) | Tensile Strength (N) | Swelling Speed (ml/g/1 min) | Swelling Capacity (ml/g) | Elongation at Break (%) | Source (Manufacturer) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ZS-series Polyester/SAP Yarn (ZS-1.0 to ZS-10.0) | 9000–900 D | 1000–10000 | 20–300 | 20–50 | 30–60 | ≥10 | Nomin / Anbao / SAB-Hey collective data |

| Fiber-Line Swellcoat® P-series (flat PET yarn) | N/A (flat yarn geometry) | ~32777 m/kg etc. | ~10.8 N (per lb yield) | — | 45 g/g | — | Fiber-Line Swellcoat® data |
| Avient Swellcoat™ maximum absorbency | — | — | — | — | Up to 100× its weight | — | Avient product bulletin |
• ZS-series range reflects varying Denier/linear density/specs across models—values aggregated from multiple supplier datasheets.
• Swellcoat flat yarn uses g/g absorption rather than typical ml/g.
• “Up to 100× weight” absorption denotes exceptional maximum capacity available.
• Always refer to the specific supplier datasheet for precise numbers on a given batch/spec.

CABLECREAM
Application
It is specially designed to fill the casing with water suction and expansion-type cable paste. its best operating temperature is normal temperature, and as the temperature rises, its viscosity gradually decreases.
Compatibility
it has good compatibility with most polymer materials and steel and aluminum materials. however, we recommend that all polymer materials in contact with the ointment be tested for compatibility.
Features
it is a water-absorbing expansion-type water-blocking cable paste. it remains soft at low temperature -40℃ and does not drip at high-temperature 80℃. thixotropy is suitable for the cold filling process. it has very low hydrogen production, zero oil separation, excellent oxidation resistance, and long-term stability.
Manufacturability
it is designed for cold filling process to avoid the void caused by ointment shrinkage.
FIBERCREAM
Application
It specially designed for high-speed production of loose sleeve cable
