Fused Silica Mesh 50/100 About
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. It's 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 StabilityFused Silica Mesh 50/100 demonstrates outstanding resistance to thermal shock and a low coefficient of thermal expansion, making it ideal for applications exposed to rapid temperature changes. Its chemical stability ensures the material resists water and most acids except hydrofluoric, providing durability in challenging environments. This makes it an exceptional choice for advanced manufacturing sectors that require long-lasting and reliable raw materials.
High Purity and VersatilityWith a purity of over 99.9%, this industrial-grade fused silica mesh can meet the stringent requirements of high-tech and precision industries. Its application extends from refractory and ceramic production to foundry work, electronics, and specialized glass manufacture. Available in 50/100 mesh sizes, it accommodates varied processes demanding both granular and powdered forms for robust performance.
FAQ's of Fused Silica Mesh 50/100:
Q: How should Fused Silica Mesh 50/100 be properly stored for maximum shelf life?
A: To maintain product stability, store Fused Silica Mesh 50/100 in a tightly sealed container in a dry, cool environment. Proper storage conditions prevent contamination and ensure its physical properties remain unchanged over time.
Q: What are the main industrial applications of Fused Silica Mesh 50/100?
A: Fused Silica Mesh 50/100 is primarily used as a raw material in refractories, casting, precision investment casting, foundry applications, glass production, ceramics, and electronics manufacturing due to its high purity, thermal stability, and chemical resistance.
Q: When should I use mesh sizes 50 to 100 (150-300 m) for my process?
A: Mesh sizes 50 to 100 are suitable when controlled particle distribution is required for blending, molding, casting, or surface treatments. This range provides good flow and compaction in refractory mixes, precise pattern definition in investment casting, and optimal performance in electronic and ceramic manufacturing.
Q: What benefits does Fused Silica Mesh 50/100 offer compared to other silica materials?
A: This fused silica grade is entirely amorphous, free from crystalline silica (quartz), and boasts a high melting point, low thermal expansion, and excellent resistance to thermal shock. These characteristics yield greater durability, thermal stability, and safety for operators.
Q: Where is Fused Silica Mesh 50/100 typically used in manufacturing?
A: It is widely utilized in India and globally by exporters, manufacturers, and suppliers for high-purity processes in advanced ceramics, glass, electronics, and precision casting industries, meeting rigorous industrial standards.
Q: How is Fused Silica Mesh 50/100 processed and supplied?
A: It is produced from high-purity silicon dioxide, fused into a glassy structure, crushed, and screened to the desired mesh size. Supplied as a white granular/powdered form, the product is packaged in secure bags or drums for ease of handling.
