FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an optical fiber core wire 1 used in such an optical fiber cable. The optical fiber core wire 1 forms a primary coating layer 3 made of an ultraviolet curable resin on the outer peripheral surface of the bare optical fiber 2, and further forms a secondary coating layer 4 made of an ultraviolet curable resin on the outer periphery thereof, and further A colored layer 5 made of a colored ultraviolet curable resin is formed on the outer peripheral surface. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of an optical fiber ribbon 7 which is obtained by arranging a plurality of the optical fibers 1 shown in FIG. 1 and integrating them in a tape form with a collective coating layer 6 made of an ultraviolet curable resin. When connecting the tape cores to each other, first, the collective coating layer 6, the fiber coating layers 3 and 4, and the coloring layer 5 are collectively removed from the tape cores by a heating type coating removing device. After that, the glass fiber is cut with a fiber cutter. Next, the glass fibers are butted to each other and fusion-bonded. At the time of fusion splicing, the glass fibers are aligned on the V-groove, but if there is a fiber coating residue (coating residue) on the glass surface, the fiber end faces do not match and a splice failure occurs. Therefore, in order to facilitate the work of connecting the tape cores to each other, it is necessary to reduce the coating residue after removing the coating as much as possible. Therefore, it is desirable to use a primary coating material which has a low adhesion and is easily peeled off from the bare optical fiber.

By the way, the conventional optical cable has been mainly used in a so-called trunk line system for connecting telephone stations.
The shift to FTTH means that optical fiber cables will be laid from the telephone office to the private home at the end. Therefore, the chances that the cable after laying will be exposed to various unprecedented environments will greatly increase. Naturally, it is sufficiently conceivable that the above-mentioned optical cable sheath may be damaged and water may enter the cable, and the optical fiber may be left in a state of being immersed for a long time. It has been reported that an optical fiber causes a loss increase due to flooding.
When the optical fiber core is flooded for a long period of time, the flooding lowers the adhesive force at the interface of the bare optical fiber / primary coating layer, for example, resulting in partial peeling and water accumulation to form blisters.
When a blister at the interface between the bare optical fiber and the primary coating is generated, lateral pressure is applied to the bare optical fiber to increase microbend loss. Therefore, in order to improve the water resistance, it is necessary to increase the adhesion between the bare optical fiber and the coating interface to prevent water from entering the interface.

Therefore, in order to achieve both water resistance and coating removability, it is necessary to keep the adhesion between the bare optical fiber and the primary coating layer within an appropriate range. On the other hand, the improvement of residue after removing the coating is disclosed in JP 2000-111767 A, JP 2000-155248 A, JP 2000-56191 A, and the like. However, although it is shown that the adhesion of the bare optical fiber and the primary coating layer can be suppressed to a certain level or less, the coating residue after the collective coating removal can be suppressed, the glass adhesion is the value at room temperature. In the actual coating removing work, the fiber is heated, and the glass adhesion force is significantly lower than that at room temperature. The degree of this adhesion reduction is significantly different depending on the monomer type of the primary coating material, the silane coupling material type, etc., and often does not reflect the actual fiber / primary coating material interface adhesive force during tape coating removal, It was difficult to reduce the coating residue after removing the collective coating of the outer cover.

Generally, the work of removing the collective coating of the tape core wire is carried out by heating it to, for example, about 70 to 100 ° C. in order to reduce the adhesive force at the interface between the fiber and the primary coating layer.
