Quartz glass
Due to its optical, mechanical and thermal properties, the high-performance material quartz glass is one of the most valuable materials in the manufacture of high-tech products for industry and research.
In most applications, the focus is on purity, heat and light. Examples include the manufacture of semiconductors/chips and solar cells, laser technology or water sterilization using UV lamps.
