Ordered 3,500 meters of dual-layer acrylate primary coated UV fiber for aerospace field sensing applications requiring operation at -55°C. On first inspection, we had questions about HALS stabilizer concentration documentation — the certificate listed a range of 0.5–2.0% without specifying the actual batch value, which our QA team flagged. After raising this with the technical team, a specific batch certificate was issued within 24 hours confirming 1.2% concentration. Issue was minor and resolved quickly. Product now in service and performing to spec. Marking three stars for the initial documentation gap, not the product itself.
