High Temperature and Corrosion-Resistant Window – Various Shaped Quartz Glass Plates

Introduction

Our high-temperature, corrosion-resistant quartz glass plates are precision-engineered for use as optical windows, protective covers, viewports, and substrate carriers in extreme environments. Made from ultra-pure fused silica (SiO₂ ≥ 99.99%), these plates offer outstanding thermal stability, optical transparency, and chemical inertness.

Unlike conventional glass, fused quartz retains its mechanical integrity and transparency even under prolonged exposure to high heat, corrosive chemicals, UV light, and plasma. Available in various shapes—including circular, square, rectangular, and custom geometries—these quartz plates are ideal for both demanding industrial environments and precision optical systems.

Applications

Quartz glass plates are widely used across industries requiring transparent, chemically inert, and heat-tolerant materials. Here are the most common application areas:

1. Vacuum and Furnace Viewports

Quartz plates are used as observation windows in vacuum chambers and high-temperature furnaces, allowing visual or optical monitoring without compromising the sealed environment.

2. Semiconductor Processing

Used as cover plates, susceptor lids, and alignment windows in etching, deposition, and cleaning systems where chemical resistance and cleanliness are essential.

3. UV & IR Optical Systems

Thanks to their wide transmission range (200–3500 nm), quartz plates are used in UV curing machines, IR detectors, and spectrometers.

4. Laser and Optical Devices

Quartz plates serve as laser windows, beam splitters, or optical flats where low distortion and high laser damage threshold are crucial.

5. Chemical Reaction Monitoring

In aggressive environments such as chemical reactors or flow cells, quartz glass allows in-situ observation and spectral analysis of reactions.

6. Solar Energy Systems

Used as transparent protective covers for solar receivers and high-efficiency solar panels.

7. Aerospace & Harsh Environments

Quartz plates are used as sensor shields or camera covers in aerospace, defense, or offshore equipment exposed to salt, UV, and heat.

Q&A

Q1: Can I order custom shapes or holes in the quartz plates?

Yes. We provide custom CNC machining, including drilled holes, slots, edge bevels, flanges, and complex contours according to your CAD drawing.

Q2: Are these plates suitable for laser applications?

Yes. Fused quartz has a high laser damage threshold and low birefringence, making it suitable for high-power laser windows, isolators, and beam splitters.

Q3: How are the plates cleaned and packaged?

Plates are ultrasonically cleaned, inspected under cleanroom conditions, and vacuum-sealed in PE bags or foam trays. Special anti-static or Class 100 packaging is available upon request.

Q4: Do these windows degrade under UV or high temperature?

No. Unlike regular glass, fused quartz does not degrade, yellow, or devitrify even after long-term exposure to UV radiation or high temperatures.
