Some researchers have achieved fused silica that can take a high amount of damage. According to Phys.org: “Laser damage in fused silica, particularly ultraviolet laser damage, is still a key problem limiting the development of high-power laser systems. The traditional processing method of fused silica goes through the processes of grinding and chemical mechanical polishing
The fused silica market, like others, has been impacted by COVID-19. Consider this analysis. According to Surfacing Magazine: “MarketsandResearch.biz has released a new research report titled Global Fused Silica Market 2020 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2026 to its database which presents an overview of the market on the basis of key
Quartz is one of the most common minerals in the Earth’s crust. As a mineral name, quartz refers to a specific chemical compound (silicon dioxide, or silica, SiO2), having a specific crystalline form (hexagonal). It is found in all forms of rock: igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. Quartz is physically and chemically resistant to weathering. When
From heat resistant Pyrex to PVB laminated safety windshields, glass is available in many forms. Some of the materials commonly referred to as glasses are actually plastic or plastic-glass mixes, although the term glass does not explicitly indicate a particular chemical composition. The term can describe any number of hard, amorphous, inorganic, and uniform solids
Glass Glass is an amorphous (non-crystalline) solid material. Glasses are typically brittle and optically transparent. The most familiar type of glass, used for centuries in windows and drinking vessels, is soda-lime glass, composed of about 75% silica (SiO2) with the addition of sodium oxide (Na2O) from soda ash, lime (CaO), and several minor additives. Optical
Have you wondered why quartz is used in watch making? According to Live Science: Quartz, made up of silica and oxygen, is one of the most common minerals on Earth. Billions of people use quartz every day, but few realize it because the tiny crystals they use are hidden in their watches and clocks. But what do
Curious about the future of the Labware market? Consider this analysis. According to Jewish Market Reports: The global General Labware market is analyzed in quite some detail in the report with strong focus on the competitive landscape, segmentation, market dynamics, and regional market expansion. The report includes thorough assessment of the business of key players
Mainly used in laboratories and classrooms, test tubes are vessels that hold and mix or store materials for use in experiments and research. There are several different types of test tubes available, and they may be made from varying materials. Glass is the classic and most common test tube material. It’s heat- and chemical-resistant. It’s
What is fused quartz? Quartz glass: A clear vitreous solid, formed by melting pure quartz, that can withstand high temperatures and is extremely transparent to infrared, visible, and ultraviolet radiations. Also called fused quartz, fused silica. (from: The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition Copyright © 2004, 2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company.
When it comes to labware should you choose glass or plastic? Consider this. According to Lab Training: “Selecting laboratory ware can become a task in itself, especially when you are not aware of different available alternatives. “One of the major confusions people face while selecting labware products is whether to choose glass options or plastic
