Oxi Defender™ Corrosion Resistance
Additives used to slow/reduce the amount of oxidation on metals in harsh environments. Designed for use as a post-tension grease and for overhead conductors.
Product ID
Information
Extended Thermoplastic Rubber
ETPR (also called phase change)- A thermoplastic material that is solid at room temperature with a significant drop in viscosity as the temperature rises to allow easy processing. This material is customizable based on specific needs in the following areas:
Drop point - From 60°C up to 150°C
Tackiness - High tack to no tack
Polymer flexibility - Stretchy to rigid

Flame Defender™ Flame Retardant
Gel capable of self-extinguishing in <10 seconds when exposed to intense flames that can be a critical component in meeting Riser or Plenum ratings for cables.
Product ID
Information
FR27 is a flame retardant gel for filling and/or flooding power, optical, and hybrid cables. This particular flame retardant product provides added benefit against migration or “leaching” into polyethylene jackets as it is produced with a synthetic base, lower viscosity, and can be cold pumped.
Heat Defender™ High Temperature
Additives and base materials designed to survive in harsh environments up to 300°C.
Product ID
Information
Good for PE/PP/PBT types of plastics and has a thermal conductivity of 1W/mK while maintaining flame retardant properties.
H2 Defender™ Hydrogen Scavenging
Additives that absorb hydrogen to prevent yellowing of the fiber. Usually paired with a high temperature gel, but can be made from any gel. The level of hydrogen uptake can be tailored from 0.2 cc H2/gram of gel in 72 hours (standard gel) to almost any level higher. The amount of scavenger added will affect both the overall amount of hydrogen able to be absorbed as well as the speed of absorption.
Product ID
Information
LA4000HX is a high temperature gel that utilizes a hydrogen scavenging component within the LA4000 base gel. Hydrogen absorption can be managed for any degree of exposure to free hydrogen.
Weight Defender™ Low Density
Gels created with a lower than standard density reducing weight, greatly improving di-electric strength, and allowing less gel to be used for the same cable length.
Product ID
Information
LD345 is a low-density compound suitable for filling and/or flooding loose tube type cables using a PBT jacket. It has very good di-electric properties and is commonly used on copper, twisted copper pair, and low to medium voltage cables. Additionally it can be used in fiber optic cables to reduce the weight and the amount of gel used and is popular for ADSS types of cables where weight is a primary concern.
LD435 is a low-density compound suitable for filling and/or flooding loose tube type cables using a PBT, PE, or PP jacket. It has very good di-electric properties and is commonly used on copper, twisted copper pair, and low to medium voltage cables. Additionally it can be used in fiber optic cables to reduce the weight and the amount of gel used and is popular for ADSS types of cables where weight is a primary concern.
Good for PE/PP/PBT cables and reduced density by 25% to (0.65 g/cm³) over a traditional gel while keeping a low viscosity.
Hydro Defender™ Water Blocking
The backbone of the Info-Gel portfolio, these materials are designed for use in standard fiber optic cable systems and have a long history of use.
Product ID
Information
K550 is suitable for filling and/or flooding optical fiber cables. K550 is a synthetic gel primarily used in loose tube and ribbon cables and compatible with all polymers and used mostly with polypropylene (PP). The extreme temperature range effectiveness of this product and its higher critical yield stress makes it the best in the world for all tube types and applications.
Heat Defender™ Thermally Conductive
Made to move heat away from critical components. These gels maintain particles sizes <70µm while maintaining no oil bleed and a thixotropic dispensable paste.
Product ID
Information
Good for PE/PP/PBT types of plastics and has a thermal conductivity of 1W/mK while maintaining flame retardant properties.
Wire Lubricants
Various viscosity lubricants that can be tailor made for production processes that keep wires corrosion free while reducing the friction co-efficient to help protect cables and wires from mechanical damage.
