Material Selection Guide for Industrial Scenarios

  • Semiconductor & Deep UV Optical Equipment
    Choose JGS1 synthetic fused quartz. Its 6N ultra-high purity, low metal impurity and superior deep UV transmittance fit wafer manufacturing and UV lithography systems perfectly.
  • PV Sintering Furnace & Infrared Heating Equipment
    JGS2 electric fused quartz or opaque milky quartz are recommended. High infrared emissivity, stable high-temperature performance and balanced cost make them ideal for heating tubes and furnace accessories.
  • Far-Infrared Spectroscopy & High-Temp Observation Windows
    JGS3 flame fused quartz delivers the best far-infrared transmission and stronger devitrification resistance than electric fused quartz, matching far IR analytical instruments.
  • High-Temperature Corrosive Chemical Reactors
    High-purity synthetic quartz is preferred. Superior acid & alkali resistance prevents impurity precipitation and medium contamination under harsh corrosive conditions.
  • Precision Custom Special-Shaped Components
    Synthetic JGS1 and flame fused JGS3 feature lower internal stress and tighter dimensional tolerance control, effectively avoiding cracking after complex machining.
