In archery and firearm sights, Nanoptics' fiber withstands repeated bow and ammo discharge vibration without cracking. Our fluorescent fiber has been selected in comparison tests as the most rugged, durable and brightest for all lengths. This combination of characteristics makes Nanoptics’ fiber the most widely used fluorescent fiber in the industry. We also have a new durable fiber that will stretch to at least half its diameter before breaking, a strength necessary when hunting or targeting in the brush. |
 |
Our fibers are available in six vibrant colors for sighting/aiming devices. Our standard colors are Blue, Green, Yellow, Hunter Orange, Red, and Ruby Red. Our vivid colors are optimized for brightness when using lengths from half an inch to greater than 60 inches. |
 |
Available in standard meter lengths, or uncut on spools, our fiber can also be ordered with custom specifications. This includes cut lengths from 1” to 60”, diameters from 0.004” up to 0.160”, and special dyes. |

Standard Diameters
|
How far can I bend the fiber without it breaking?
The minimum bend radius of the fiber is equal to 5 times the diameter of the fiber.
Is the fiber susceptible to heat damage?
The fiber is heat resistant over the temperature range of -40o C to 75o C (-140o F to 167oF).
Will the colors fade?
The colors will not fade when exposed under normal use to environmental elements, such as sunshine, rain, bright lights, etc.
What is the fiber made of?
The fiber is made from 100% optical grade polymer. The clarity of the polymer enhances the brightness and vibrant colors.
Does the fiber have a coating on it?
The standard Nanoptics' fiber used in sights has a thin coating of fluorinated polymer providing excellent light reflection and environmental protection for the fiber.
How do I cut the fiber?
The fiber can be cut using an optical fiber cutting block such as Edmund Industrial Optics sells. For small quantities, a very sharp utility (box) knife will work. The key is to get a clean, straight cut.
Is the fiber resistant to cleaning agents like gun cleaner?
A special cladding can be added to Nanoptics' fiber for extreme chemical resistance such as firearms cleaning agents. This cladding provides a chemical resistance that is superior to that from any other supplier. Please call for further information.
