Abstract
A fiber optic adhesive composition for applying to a fiber optic having a ffer coat thereon and subsequently, partially cured to a tacky outer surface prior to its being wound onto a bobbin from which the adhesively coated fiber optic material is to payout during use to transmit a signal to a missile in flight. The partially cured adhesive composition functions to hold the fiber optic material in place on the bobbin during storage and allows consistent payout during use of the fiber optic material. The typical composition of the fiber optic adhesive comprises hydroxyterminated polybutadiene from about 88.14 to about 92.48 percent by weight, isophorone diisocyanate from about 6.23 to about 6.42 percent by weight, a catalyst of ferric acetylacetonate or dibutyltin dilaurate in an amount from about 0.89 to about 1.15 percent by weight respectively, and a thixotropic agent in an amount of about 4.48 by weight.
