Quartz (Optical, Synthetic, Fused)

Properties of quartz glass


Optical Transparency Quartz has high optical transparency for wide varieties of wavelength such as UV and infrared. Especially it has greater optical transparency in shorter wavelength.
High purity Quartz glass has very high purity. Thus there are only minute impurities in the glass. This makes it suitable for semiconductor processing and liquid crystal manufacturing which hates impurities such as alkali.
Heat Resistance It has excellent heat resistance and thermal shock resistance from low-thermal expansion. Low thermal conductivity and low-temperature specific heat is one of the properties.
Chemical Resistance It is chemically very stable as chemical and has excellent chemical resistance.

There are two kinds of quartz glass. One is fused quartz which is produced by natural crystal powder. The other one is synthetic quartz which is produced from silicon tetrachloride. DAICO will choose the best material according to customer requests.

Optical Synthetic Silica

Optical Synthetic Quartz

Quartz glass is high purity optical material which has optical transparency, heat resistance and corrosion resistance. DAICO’s USQ-E series is high quality optical synthetic silica which has very high purity, high homogeneous and great optical transparency especially in UV region compared to other glass.

It is ideal especially for optical parts (lens, window, mirror, prism) for high-power UV device such as exposure equipments and excimer lasers.
