Quartz glass is a special type of glass that contains only silicon dioxide as a single component.
Due
to different types, processes, and raw materials, they are often called
silicate glass, quartz glass, fused silica, fused quartz, synthetic
fused silica, and transparent, translucent, and opaque quartz with no
clear concept.
Heat Resistance:
Quartz glass has high heat resistance, with regular use temperatures
ranging from 1100 ℃ to 1200 ℃ and short-term use temperatures up to 1400
℃.
High Transmittance: Quartz glass has a visible light transmittance of over 92% and can transmit ultraviolet and infrared light.
High Purity: Quartz glass is made by pure natural quartz (such as crystal, quartz sand, etc.) . Purity can reach 99.99%.
Electrical Insulation Performance: Quartz glass has excellent electrical insulation performance.
Good Chemical Stability: Except for hydrofluoric acid and hot phosphoric acid, it has good acid resistance to general acids
Application
Laboratory Equipment: Quartz glass is commonly used in laboratory equipment and extraction equipment for special high-purity products.
Spacecraft:
Due to its high temperature resistance and radiation resistance, quartz
glass is widely used in spacecraft, wind tunnel windows, and
spectrophotometer optical systems.
Optical Applications:
Modern advanced photography lenses often use quartz optical glass to
manufacture lenses, in order to increase strength and transparency.
High Tech Fields: Quartz glass is also widely used in high-tech fields such as semiconductors and electro-optical sources.
