Fused Quartz Glass Wool (Silica Wool)

Fused Quartz Glass Wool (Silica Wool)

Lark Quartz Wool is made from pure fused quartz fibers which are amorphous, continuous, tangled, white, odorless, without volatile component and no shot. Length, shape and arrangement of fibers give the wool its curly appearance preventing compression of the padding and improves its desired insulating properties. flexible fibers of fused quartz is termed Quartz wool. It is also known as silica wool. It is a milky white color that looks like cotton wool. It is made up of highly pure SiO2 and high-quality quartz crystals. Like fused quartz products, it also has similar properties. The maximum operating temperature of this is 1150 ºC.

The fiber’s diameter is divided mainly into three major categories as coarse, fine, and ultra-fine. The thickness of coarse fibers is 12 to 15 microns, whereas, in fine wool, the thickness is around 7-9 microns. The pricing of ultra-fine quartz wool is relatively high due to its high surface area and less thickness, i.e., about 3 microns. It efficiently sustains at high temperatures. It is also non-flammable, non-combustible, and chemically inert, making it more popular in the industries.

Quartz Wool Applications

It chiefly uses for insulation purposes due to its excellent temperature resistance properties. It also applies in the filtration of corrosive fluid and gases, air pollution control, catalyst support, support bed in the distillation and HPLC column, filler for analytical instruments, IR heat diffuser, and many more. Since it is chemically inert, the acid filtration also becomes a regular application.

Safety Instructions of Quartz Wool

• The protective gloves should be wear at the time of operation.
• Safety goggle is a must during handling.
• Do not touch any part of the skin while using.
• Store in a moisture-proof dry place.
