Quartz and fused silica are renowned for their exceptional thermal stability, low thermal and electrical conductivity, optical transparency and high chemical purity. These materials also exhibit low coefficient of thermal expansion (0.55 to 0.57 x 10⁻⁶/°C) and can withstand temperatures exceeding 1,200°C without significant structural degradation. This makes quartz and fused silica the material of choice in applications like semiconductor manufacturing and advanced optics, where precision and durability are paramount. Read more
