Optical fiber coating with a color concentrate having slickness additive

摘要

Certain embodiments of the invention may include systems and methods for coating an optical fiber (102). The method includes coating an optical fiber (102) with a primary coating (104), preparing a secondary coating (106,108) by selectively mixing a concentrate (412) with a ultraviolet (UV) curable diluent coating, wherein the concentrate (412) includes predetermined amounts of a color agent and a release agent and applying the secondary coating (106,108) to the optical fiber (102) and primary coating (104).
