    DSM says that compared to competing solutions, the material offers 4X better secondary coating usage efficiency and 50% better coating cavitation resistance. This supports ease of handling during field applications with challenging fiber types such as 200-µm fibers. The secondary coating surface structure and curing response used by the Next Generation DeSolite Supercoatings help effect a robust inking process and trouble-free inked fiber.
