TOQUARTZ fused quartz glass outperforms alternatives with 99.99% SiO₂ purity(max. upto 99.995%), 0.5×10⁻⁷/°C thermal expansion, and 0% added stabilizers, ensuring superior reliability in extreme environments.
Quartz vs. Quartz Glass
Structural Variance:
- Natural Quartz (crystalline, trigonal SiO₂): Prone to micro-fractures at >300°C due to anisotropic thermal stress.
- Quartz Glass (amorphous SiO₂): Isotropic structure withstands 1200°C abrupt cooling without cracking.
Purity Benchmark:
- Natural quartz contains 50-200ppm Al/Fe impurities; TOQUARTZ glass maintains <1ppm trace metals.

Fused Silica vs. Quartz Glass
Manufacturing:
- Fused Silica: Synthesized from synthetic SiCl₄ (≥99.9% purity), limited to premium optics.
- TOQUARTZ Quartz Glass: Made via arc fusion of natural silica sand (99.99% purity), balancing cost and performance.
Thermal Resilience:
- Both withstand 1100°C, but TOQUARTZ quartz glass exhibits 30% lower devitrification risk under prolonged heating.

Pyrex vs. Quartz Glass
Composition:
- Pyrex (borosilicate): Contains 13% B₂O₃ to reduce thermal expansion (3.3×10⁻⁶/°C vs. quartz’s 0.55×10⁻⁶/°C).
- Quartz Glass: 99.99% SiO₂ resists hydrofluoric acid (Pyrex dissolves) and operates at 500°C higher temps.
Optische Klarheit:
- Pyrex blocks UV below 350nm; quartz glass transmits down to 190nm.
| Parameter | Pyrex (Borosilicate) | Quartz Glass (Pure SiO₂) | Quarzglas Vorteil | ||||||
| Composition | 80% SiO₂ + 13% B₂O₃ | 99.99% SiO₂ | Zero additives, absolute purity | ||||||

| HF Acid Resistance | Dissolves in 10% HF (5min) | Tolerates 48hr 10% HF exposure | 576x longer chemical stability | ||||||
Quartz Glass vs. Borosilicate
Softening Temperature:
- Borosilicate softens at 820°C vs. quartz’s 1683°C, limiting furnace longevity.
Chemische Beständigkeit:
- 99% H₃PO₄ erodes borosilicate at 95°C; quartz glass tolerates 48hr exposure at 150°C.
Purity Control:
- Borosilicate contains Al/Na dopants (0.5-2%), while quartz glass guarantees 99.99% SiO₂.
| Parameter | Borosilicate (Typical) | Quartz Glass (TOQUARTZ) | Quarzglas Vorteil | ||||||
| Softening Temperature | 820°C | 1683°C | 2.05x higher thermal threshold | ||||||
| H₃PO₄ Resistance | 5mm/yr erosion at 95°C | 0.1mm/yr erosion at 150°C | 50x slower degradation rate | ||||||
| SiO₂ Inhalt | 80-81% | 99.99% | Unmatched chemical inertness | ||||||
