Crystalline & fused quartz sand · 4N8–6N

From natural quartz to 6N-grade material.

Crystalline grades reach 6N and fused grades reach 5N8. We match material structure, trace-element content and particle-size distribution to your process, with standard and custom particle-size ranges.

Two material structures

Similar purity, different material structures.

4N8–6N describes chemical purity; crystalline and fused refer to the silica structure. We supply both forms and match trace-element content, particle-size distribution and processing properties to your application.

Crystalline high-purity quartz sand

Crystalline quartz sand retains the ordered structure of natural quartz. It is a key raw material for fused-quartz crucibles, tubes, rods and other high-purity quartz-glass products. Qualification includes trace elements, inclusions, particle-size distribution and melting behaviour.

Fused high-purity quartz sand

Quartz is melted into amorphous glass, then crushed, shaped and classified. Compared with crystalline quartz, fused quartz has lower thermal expansion and greater thermal-shock resistance, making it suitable for dimensional stability and repeated temperature changes.

Two foundations for 6N production

High-quality ore.
Purification matched to the material.

We select ore from our wholly owned Myanmar resource for 6N purification. Material-specific processing and laboratory verification help turn this ore into high-purity quartz sand.

02 / Purification technology

Start with good ore.
Refine it with precise process control.

Ore characteristics determine the purification sequence. Physical, chemical and thermal treatments are followed by particle-size control and analytical verification.

  1. 01

    Understand the ore

    Identify trace impurities and their occurrence in the mineral.

  2. 02

    Design the purification process

    Select treatment conditions to remove the target impurities and prevent contamination.

  3. 03

    Verify the finished material

    Check composition and particle-size distribution against the selected grade.
