A comparison of the PE/PJ, ETPR and gelled oil based filling and flooding compounds was undertaken using dynamic mechanical analysis and thermal analysis. The coefficient of thermal expansion using a quartz dilatometer was used to measure the void formation tendency of the filling/flooding compound upon cooling after heated transfer into the optical cable. It was found that the expansion coefficients of the materials decrease in the order PE/PJ.
