Abstract
A GGP fiber is provided which resists strength degradation upon exposure to high temperature/high humidity environments. The fiber comprises a polymeric coating, or P-coat, which is cured with a photoinitiator such as an iodonium methide salt which does not hydrolyze to release HF or fluoride ion.
