Manufactured from natural silicon quartz with >99.99% SiO₂ purity. Available in polished sheets, precision bores, capillary tubes, and fully customized geometries.
Choosing the proper fused silica grade determines optical throughput, hydroxyl (OH⁻) absorption bands, and structural lifetime under extreme thermal and electromagnetic radiation.
| Optical Quartz Grade | Manufacturing Technology | Transmission Bandwidth | OH⁻ Absorption Characteristics | Target Industrial Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JGS1 (Synthetic Fused Silica) | Chemical Vapor Deposition (SiCl₄ Flame Hydrolysis) | 185 nm – 2500 nm (Deep-UV) | High OH⁻ (>1000 ppm) or low halogen | Excimer lasers, photolithography mask substrates, UV-C sterilizers |
| JGS2 (Fused Quartz) | Continuous Hydrogen-Oxygen Flame Fusion | 220 nm – 2500 nm (Optical / Visible) | Moderate OH⁻ (100–300 ppm) | Sight glasses, viewport windows, furnace chambers, PV wafer carriers |
| JGS3 (Infrared Fused Quartz) | Electric Vacuum Fusion Processing | 260 nm – 3500 nm (Near-to-Mid IR) | Ultra-low OH⁻ (<5 ppm), bubble-free | Infrared optical windows, thermal pyrometry, high-power IR emitters |
| Opaque Quartz (Milky-White) | Electric Arc Fusion with Micro-bubble dispersion | Diffused reflection (Broadband IR) | Controlled microstructure dispersion | Rapid thermal processing (RTP) shields, heating collars, tube furnaces |
High-grade JGS1 synthetic fused silica delivers over 90% transmission at the critical 193 nm and 254 nm UV wavelengths, avoiding solarization and darkening when exposed to excimer lasers and high-energy ultraviolet emitters.
With an exceptionally low coefficient of thermal expansion (5.5 × 10⁻⁷ /°C from 20°C to 300°C), fused quartz plates tolerate rapid temperature cycling up to 1100°C continuous service and 1300°C peak surges without shattering.
Composed purely of vitreous SiO₂, these sheets demonstrate near-complete resistance to concentrated acids, neutral salts, and organic solvents, making them an indispensable standard across semiconductor wet etching benches.
Technical procurement directors are shifting beyond basic dimensional specifications, prioritizing cleanroom trace-metal certifications, tight flatness tolerances, and integrated CNC manufacturing.
Increasing miniaturization in micro-optics and MEMS sensors has pushed demand for thin quartz sheets down to 0.1 mm – 0.5 mm, requiring double-sided planetary polishing and strict surface flatness (<λ/4).
Buyers prefer turn-key component providers who combine raw ingot cutting with multi-axis CNC slotting, laser micro-drilling, chamfering, and thread grinding under unified quality control.
Modern high-power industrial fiber lasers require polariscope inspection of all blanks. Residual thermal stresses must stay below 5 nm/cm to prevent spontaneous cracking under thermal load.
For atomic layer deposition (ALD) and diffusion reactors, buyers are establishing tight maximum thresholds for alkali elements (Na, K, Li < 0.5 ppm), avoiding cross-contamination on production wafers.
Located in Lianyungang, Jiangsu — China's fused quartz industrial cluster — Lovri Quartz operates an SGS onsite-verified manufacturing footprint of over 14,271 square meters. Unlike trading exporters who outsource glass finishing, we integrate the entire value chain under one roof.
Our workshop carries out every stage: raw quartz rock crushing, sizing, high-temperature acid wash decontamination, tube drawing, precision annealing, CNC milling, fire polishing, and vacuum packaging.
Backed by audited production metrics, automated annealing furnaces, and long-standing OEM export partnerships.
Common technical questions answered by our application engineers to simplify your quotation requests and drawing reviews.
JGS1 is synthetic fused silica with deep-UV transmission (185–2500 nm) designed for excimer optics and UV lasers. JGS2 is flame-fused quartz suited for sight glasses, UV lamps, and furnace viewports (220–2500 nm). JGS3 is vacuum electric-fused quartz with minimal hydroxyl content, providing superior infrared performance up to 3500 nm.
Yes. Our CNC facility processes 2D and 3D files in DXF, DWG, PDF, and STEP formats. We routinely machine stepped shoulders, through-holes, countersinks, slots, and vacuum sealing grooves down to ±0.05 mm dimensional tolerances.
We provide commercial fine-ground finishes (mesh 120–400), fire-polished finishes, and double-sided optical pitch polishing. For demanding optical windows, we achieve 60/40 or 40/20 scratch-dig with flatness up to λ/4 per 25 mm diameter.
Every sheet is individually covered in protective film, cushioned with high-density EVA shock-absorbing foam, and packed in reinforced multi-layer cartons or customized fumigation-free plywood cases suitable for worldwide air, sea, and courier freight.
We support prototype development with an MOQ starting from 1 to 5 pieces for most custom-machined sheets and tubes. Volume-tiered pricing applies to repeat scheduled deliveries and bulk container consignments.
Transparent fused quartz works continuously up to 1100°C and can withstand short-duration exposures up to 1300°C. Its annealing point is approximately 1215°C, and softening starts near 1730°C. Heating elements should maintain clean surfaces to avoid devitrification.
