What is High Purity Quartz

Key Takeaways High-purity quartz is the feedstock for semiconductor crucibles, PV ingot growth and optical components. Purity sets the performance ceiling of everything made from it — crucibles, tubes, windows. It is hard, brittle and expensive, so cutting is done with diamond wire to limit kerf loss. What is High Purity Quartz? High-purity quartz is a rare high-tech strategic mineral resource in the world. It is an irreplaceable mineral raw material for the manufacture of high-tech quartz glass and a rare generic high-value-added mineral resource...
