Chempure Quartz Dish

Fused silica, used as an industrial raw material, is crafted into various refractory shapes such as crucibles, trays, shrouds, and rollers. These shapes are essential for high-temperature thermal processes, including steelmaking, investment casting, and glass manufacturing.

Refractory shapes made from fused silica possess excellent thermal shock resistance and are chemically inert to most elements and compounds. They resist virtually all acids, regardless of concentration, except for hydrofluoric acid, which is highly reactive even at low concentrations.

Translucent fused-silica tubes are frequently used to encase electric elements in room heaters, industrial furnaces, and similar applications.

Quartz glassware is occasionally used in chemistry laboratories when standard borosilicate glass cannot endure high temperatures. It is often found as a basic element, such as a tube in a furnace or a flask, directly exposed to heat.

Chemical Inertness

Fused quartz is chemically inert, with the exception of reacting to hydrofluoric acid and, at high temperatures, phosphoric acid. It reacts slowly with caustic alkalies at normal temperatures. Additionally, it does not react with water and steam under moderate temperatures and pressures. Detailed information, including transmission curves and levels of chemical impurities, is available upon request.
