Quartz
Quartz is a naturally occurring mineral composed of oxygen and silicon, which possesses excellent optical, thermal and electrical properties. It has high transmission in the ultraviolet range, high-temperature endurance in the visible and infrared range, low thermal expansion and high thermal shock resistance, exceptional electrical insulation and high chemical purity. It is also suitable for permanent and short-term high-temperature operations up to 1300°C.
