The Styrenic thermoplastic elastomer / SEP manufacturer and supplier for optical Fiber and Cable Filling Gel developed and produced by ZJZLSynthetic Material Technology Co., Ltd has passed the verification of many international fiber manufacturers. The product has broken the monopoly of the domestic SEP market by international giants.
Some organizations have pointed out that "densification of 5G base stations + fronthaul optical fiber network" will open new growth space for the optical fiber and cable industry. On the one hand, with the rapid increase in frequency, the density of 5G base stations will increase significantly compared to 4G. According to the calculation of FTTH council, the number of optical fibers required for 5G base stations will be more than 16 times that of 4G. On the other hand, 5G introduces a CU / DU two-level architecture, and the fronthaul network will bring new requirements for optical fiber.
Fiber optic cable upstream material industry also ushered in new development opportunities. Among them, as an indispensable material for waterproofing and moisture-proofing of optical cables, the optical cable paste alone contains more than 20 kinds of raw materials such as base oil, polymer materials, water blocking agents, and antioxidants. In particular, styrene elastomer SEP as the thickener for optical cable paste and fiber paste is the most promising.
The surge in demand for fiber optic cables will create a huge market space for SEP for fiber optic cable greases. In addition, the replacement demand created by optical fiber cables used in the past after reaching the end of their useful life is expected to be 10,000 to 15,000 tons in China's SEP market next year.
In sharp contrast to the domestic replacement of optical cable pastes, the SEP market for optical cable pastes has been monopolized by international giants such as the United States Kraton and Kuraray Japan due to extremely high technical barriers. The development of SEP is very difficult. Five core technologies such as anionic living polymerization control technology and the establishment of a hydrogenation catalytic system need to be overcome. These core technologies have formed extremely high technical barriers to the development of SEP products. ZJZL started from the project development and went through more than ten stages including laboratory technology route development, small test technology route establishment, and small test reaction parameter determination. Each stage has the difficulties of the entire technical team. It took 6 years to develop successfully. .
The paste made by styrene elastomer SEP developed by ZJZL technology has the characteristics of transparent uniformity, moderate drop point and viscosity, cone penetration and good stencil oil separation performance, etc. It has innovation in formula design and synthesis process, and its technology is domestically similar Product leadership.
