The Application of Quartz Glass Rods
Transparent quartz glass rod is a type of rod made of quartz material with colorless and transparent surface, high purity, strong high-temperature resistance, and low coefficient of thermal expansion.
The main applications of quartz rods are:
Metallurgical industry: Quartz rods are used to manufacture refractory materials - silicon bricks, smelt siliceous alloys (silicon iron, silicon manganese, silicon chromium), and serve as fluxes.
Glass industry: Quartz rods are the primary raw material for manufacturing glass. Manufacturing exterior wall coatings, road marking paints, etc. It can also be made into refractory bricks as lining for glass furnaces. It can also be used as a sand cement ingredient, aerated concrete, ordinary products, etc.
Construction industry: Quartz rods can serve as important building blocks. Mixing with sand and asphalt can pave roads, and quartz can also be used as proof material for Portland cement. Crystalline silicon is the primary raw material for producing monocrystalline silicon, and can also be used to produce silicon aluminum and organic silicon. Pure crystalline silicon can be produced.
Grinding industry: Quartz rock and quartz sandstone can be used to manufacture grinding materials such as grinding stones, oilstones, sandpaper, and silicon carbonate; Quartz sand is also commonly used for sawing stones, polishing glass, grinding the surface of metal and stone products, and quartz is also used for polishing jewelry.
Chemical industry: Quartz rods can also be used to manufacture water glass, silicone, desiccants, and petroleum refining catalysts. Crushed stones can be used as road filling stones and railway ballast. It can also manufacture various types of flat glass, laminated glass, embossed glass, hollow glass, optical glass, conductive glass, and radiation resistant special glass.
