What are the advantages of 96% silica glass?
Advantages of Fused Silica/Quartz Glass Incredibly thermally shock resistant (can be taken from red heat and plunged into water without cracking) Low coefficient of thermal expansion. Optical transmission properties from ultra violet to infra red. Good chemical resistance. What is the use of silica in mirror? Silica, which can be mined or refined from sand, is used to make glass. For the production of high-quality scientific grade mirrors a few other types of glass are used. Is fused silica quartz? Fused Silica and Quartz are both extremely pure materials featuring very low thermal expansion and excellent optical qualities. The main difference between the two is that Fused Silica is composed of a non-crystalline silica glass, while Quartz is made from crystalline silica. What is fused silica used for? Fused silica as an industrial raw material is used to make various refractory shapes such as crucibles, trays, shrouds, and rollers for many high-temperature thermal processes includi
