Fused Silica
Silice Electrofondue / Quarzgut elektrogeschmolzen

A high quality Fused Silica with extensive use in the production of refractories, crucibles, foundry cores and mild abrasives. Produced from electrofusion of selected quartz sand.

Properties are:

  • Excellent thermal shock resistance
  • Extremely low thermal expansion
  • Zero glass content
  • Controlled surface properties
  • Totally amorphous crystal structure (XRay Diffraction)

Cermatco is able to give complete specifications for an iron-free material down to ppm levels.
