About Fused Silica Mesh 30/50
PRATAP CORPORATION Fused silica is a form of silicon dioxide (SiO2) produced by melting high-purity crystalline silica, like quartz, and forming an amorphous, synthetic glass. Its characterized by very low thermal expansion and high thermal shock resistance, making it suitable for various applications, including optics and high-temperature ceramics. Superior Thermal and Chemical PerformanceOur Fused Silica Mesh 30/50 delivers exceptional resistance to thermal shock due to its low expansion coefficient and high purity. Its excellent chemical stability and insolubility in water allow it to perform reliably in demanding industrial and laboratory applications, particularly where exposure to extreme temperatures and chemicals is expected.
Versatile Industrial ApplicationsThis products high SiO content, purity, and physical properties make it suitable for diverse applications, including glass manufacturing, refractories, ceramics, electronics, and investment casting. Its consistent particle size and shape ensure predictable performance and optimal results in precision processes and mass production.
Safe Handling and StorageFused Silica Mesh 30/50 is non-toxic, odorless, and stable when stored in a dry, well-ventilated area. Its negligible radioactivity and low level of magnetic impurities (below 10 ppm) accentuate its safety profile for industrial and laboratory use. Carefully packaged in 25 kg bags or as per requirement, it retains stability and quality through correct storage protocols.
