Fused Quartz has:

  • Excellent thermal coefficient of thermal expansion
  • A high working temperature
  • Lower manufacturing cost then Fused Silica
  • Good transmission from near UV to near IR

Fused Quartz has a range of uses, including:

  • Tubing need in glassware for chemistry
  • Flash tubes
  • Test Flats
  • Telescope mirror blanks
  • Standard optical components
  • View port windows
  • Pressure Windows
  • Mirrors for optical components
