Opaque quartz glass不透明石英
Opaque quartz, also known as milky quartz or non-transparent quartz, is a high-purity silicon dioxide (SiO₂) material valued for its exceptional thermal stability, chemical resistance, and durability. Unlike transparent quartz, its opaque appearance arises from microscopic gas bubbles and fluid inclusions formed during the arc-melting process. This unique structure makes it ideal for applications requiring extreme temperature resistance (up to 1450°C) and inertness, such as semiconductor manufacturing, solar cell production, and chemical processing.

 

Opaque quartz components, including crucibles, tubing, and rods, are widely used in industries where contamination control and high-temperature performance are critical. For example, in semiconductor fabrication, opaque quartz crucibles facilitate silicon crystal growth, while in laboratories, they enable precise handling of corrosive chemicals. The material’s versatility extends to solar energy production, where it withstands harsh environments during photovoltaic cell manufacturing.
