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.

Outstanding Swell
Absorption levels of 10.0 gr/gr. Adjustable swell rates from 300-1000% . Top absorption speeds.
Dust Free
Clean processing - no dust! Protects equipment and work areas from maintenance and safety issues.
No Shrinkage
Natural characteristic of less than 0.5% shrinkage. Protects cable design from buffer tube damage.
