SuperAbsorbent Yarns & Fabrics: Water-Blocking
Water-Blocking Absorbent Solutions for Cables
Using a superabsorbent SAF™ Spun Yarn or low basis weight superabsorbent SAF™ Thermobond Nonwoven Fabric, can help protect power or telecommunication (optical) cables by rapidly absorbing any incoming water should the sheath be breached. Upon contact with the water, the cable yarn or fabric will swell and form an impermeable barrier.
Our superabsorbent water-blocking range, offers a lightweight and clean alternative to other available technologies. We have a catalogue of solutions readily available to sample – you can browse these below or click on the icons for more details information.
Bespoke yarns and fabrics can also be manufactured if required.
So, what is SAF™?
SAF™ is a highly technical, soft, staple fibre, that absorbs significant amounts quickly. In fact, it can take in up to two
hundred times its own weight in water, even under load!! It also provides excellent levels of containment and retention, which can be hugely beneficial in a wide range of applications. We blend SAF™ with a wide range of other fibre types, to produce high performing superabsorbent fabrics and yarns that are all Powered by SAFology™.
