HSQ 700

HSQ 700 is an electrically fused quartz glass with further reduced alkali content. Due to the lowered total concentration of Li, Na, and K to typically below 0.2 ppm, HSQ 700 features a higher temperature stability and lower devitrification rate. This makes HSQ700 the preferred choice for the most demanding applications.

Characteristics / Special features:

Low alkali content by particle size of higher purity, alkali metal/OH content (< 0.05 ppm / < 30 ppm)

Products and applications:

Semiconductor processes with very high purity requirements
