Abstract
A family of oil or fluid-based lubricants with an additive, for use in fabricating optical fiber cables having loose fibers or stacked optical fiber ribbons is disclosed. The additive, which can be either fumed silica, fumed alumina, or block polymers, lowers the surface tension and contact angle, and increases the viscosity and wettability of the lubricants.
