Quartz rod, as a special industrial technology glass rod made of high-purity silicon dioxide (SiO ₂), is an excellent basic material. Its unique performance characteristics make it widely applicable in multiple fields. What are the performance characteristics of quartz rods

1、 High purity and compositional advantages

The main component of quartz rods is silicon dioxide, which usually has a content of over 99% and can even reach higher purity. High purity raw materials endow quartz rods with a range of unique physical and chemical properties. In contrast, ordinary glass rods are a mixture of various components such as sodium silicate, silicon dioxide, and calcium silicate, with a silicon dioxide content generally between 70% and 80%. The difference in composition leads to significant differences in performance between the two.

2、 High strength and high temperature resistance

Quartz rods are known for their high strength and high temperature resistance. It can be used for a long time at temperatures up to 1100 ℃ or even higher without deformation or rupture. The softening point temperature of quartz rod is about 1730 ℃, and the continuous use temperature range is 1100-1200 ℃. The short-term high use temperature can reach 1450 ℃. In addition, quartz rods also have high resistance to rapid heating and cooling, and can maintain stable performance even under extreme temperature conditions.

3、 Excellent chemical stability

Quartz rods have strong chemical inertness and can resist the erosion of various corrosive substances such as acids, alkalis, and organic solvents. This excellent chemical stability makes quartz rods widely applicable in various chemical experiments. At the same time, it can maintain stable performance in various harsh chemical environments and will not deteriorate or be damaged due to the erosion of chemical substances.

4、 Good optical performance

Quartz rods have excellent optical transparency and high uniformity. This gives it unique advantages in fields such as optical instrument manufacturing and laser technology applications. The high transmittance and low scattering characteristics of quartz rods make them an ideal material for manufacturing optical devices. In addition, the optical properties of quartz rods also make them widely applicable in the field of optical fiber communication.

5、 Excellent electrical performance

Quartz rods have excellent electrical performance, high insulation and low dielectric loss. This makes it widely applicable in electrical engineering. Even under high temperature conditions, quartz rods can maintain good electrical performance and will not experience a decrease in electrical performance due to temperature changes.

6、 Widely applicable fields

Due to the excellent performance characteristics mentioned above, quartz rods have wide application value in multiple fields. In semiconductor manufacturing, quartz rods are used as carriers for high-temperature reactions; In fiber optic communication, quartz rods are used as raw materials for optical fibers due to their excellent transparency; Quartz rods also play an important role in the production of solar panels and the manufacturing of infrared optical devices. In addition, quartz rods are also used in the production of high-strength electric light sources, bridge rods for single ended halogen lamps, manufacturing of quartz glassware and instruments, and processing of semiconductor silicon wafers.

Quartz rods are known for their high purity, high strength, high temperature resistance, excellent chemical stability, good optical performance, and excellent electrical performance. These unique performance characteristics make quartz rods have broad application prospects and important value in multiple fields.
