SILBOND® FW
Fused Silica
SILBOND® FW fused silica is an ultra high purity quartz manufactured by an electric arcing process that takes place at around 2000°C. One of its most outstanding qualities is the extremeley low thermal coefficient of expansion, being 0.5 x 10-6/K. Furthermore it has excellent thermal shock resistance, a high transformation temperature, high softening temperature, low thermal conductivity, good optical light transmission, corrosion resistance and a diffusion blocking effect against most substances. These properties make it an ideal material for use in electrical insulation, casting resin systems, electronics, precision casting and technical ceramics.
Various sizes and surface modifications are also possible to enhance the compataibility with the continuous media of the composite.
