High-Purity Quartz Glass Rods
We engineer our High-Purity Quartz Glass Rods for applications demanding exceptional strength, purity, and optical clarity. These solid rods are manufactured from select-grade Quartz Glass, thus making them a superior material for light guides, plasma torch components, and high-temperature structural supports where performance cannot be compromised.
Our quartz glass rods are distinguished by their superior straightness and tight diameter control. For example, key advantages include ultra-high purity (≥ 99.99%) for maximum transmission and outstanding thermal stability for reliable performance. In addition, we offer comprehensive custom fabrication, including precision centerless grinding, to meet your exact specifications.
Material Integrity and Fabrication Excellence
The performance of our Quartz Glass Rods stems from their monolithic, bubble-free internal structure, a direct result of our advanced manufacturing process. Indeed, we produce solid Quartz Glass Rods with exceptional homogeneity, which ensures uniform optical and mechanical properties. As a result, this material integrity is critical for applications like light pipes where signal distortion cannot be tolerated. Furthermore, our precision centerless grinding capabilities allow us to achieve tight dimensional tolerances, making our rods ideal feedstock for subsequent CNC machining into complex components.

Key Applications for Quartz Glass Rods
With their excellent clarity and high UV-IR transmission, our Quartz Glass Rods serve as efficient light pipes and components for optical instruments. In this context, their homogeneity is critical for preventing signal loss in fiber optic and laser applications.
The high compressive strength and thermal stability of our solid Quartz Glass Rods make them ideal for durable, non-contaminating supports. This, in turn, makes them perfect for pedestals, pushers, and spacers inside industrial furnaces and semiconductor equipment.
Our Quartz Glass Rods are a superior material for fabricating components for plasma torches and analytical instruments. Consequently, their purity and dielectric strength ensure reliable performance in demanding ICP-MS and lab applications.
