I. What are the precautions for the use of plastic optical fibers?1. Plastic optical fibers are made of resin, so they are not designed to withstand excessive loads. When using plastic optical fibers, avoid stacking and dropping heavy objects and hanging objects. In addition, if the environmental conditions for using plastic optical fiber are not correct, then it may cause breakage, degradation of light-conducting properties, and ultimately loss of optical transmission function. Therefore, when plastic optical fibers play an important role in systems and machines, the management of the use environment (temperature, humidity, surrounding solvents, light sources, etc.) and the retention of spare parts should be considered in the system design. 2. Plastic optical fibers are made of resin, so temperatures above 100°C will soften, and temperatures above 200°C part of the resin will begin to decompose and produce flammable gases. If the temperature continues to rise, there is a danger of combustion. Especially for lamps used as light sources, please consider installing a cooling device to keep the temperature of the plastic optical fiber from exceeding 80°C. In addition, to prevent fires, please consider designing the light source in such a way that the temperature of the plastic optical fiber will not reach 100°C or more if the cooling device malfunctions. In addition, if the surface temperature of the plastic optical fiber rises when strong light is introduced through the light-collecting mirror, such as when dirt is attached to the end surface of the plastic optical fiber, it may cause a fire. Therefore, please take extra care not to allow dirt to be attached to the end face of the optical fiber. In order not to crack the properties of the plastic optical fiber, keep it out of direct sunlight and store it inside the house. 3. Plastic optical fibers contain fluorine resin and polyvinyl chloride resin. Since incineration generates harmful hydrogen fluoride gas and hydrogen chloride gas, it is reasonable to incinerate them in an acid-resistant incinerator equipped with decontamination equipment or dispose of them in a landfill. In either case, please entrust the disposal to a specialized waste disposal manufacturer approved by the prefectural governor.
