GFC ARASTRAND INSTANTDRY® water-blocking (WB) high modulus aramid yarns help prevent longitudinal water penetration in cable constructions.  The impregnation process of the super absorbent particles on the aramid yarn ensures even distribution of the swell effect as well as making for a dust free processing environment.  The result is a complete solution for dry cable designs.
