INNOV ATE Fiber Optic Cable Value Proposition Innovative solution that gave fiber optic cable manufacturer competitive advantage. Application Fiber optic cable conduits Problem Reduce surface friction on the inside wall of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) conduits for fiber optic cable. Solution Modify formulation of inner liner of conduit with 3-5 percent dose of ultra-high-molecular-weight polydi- methylsiloxane. Product Selected Dow Corning® brand MB50-002 Masterbatch resin additive. Results Dramatically increased the utility of fiber optic cable conduit for end customers by cutting end product costs 30-50 percent, permitting installation in record time and pro- viding additional savings through reduced costs associated with parts and future maintenance. Siloxane Additive Minimizes Fri
