Quartz Glass JGS2 - Professional Grade Natural Quartz

JGS2 quartz glass, used for UV optical applications, is produced by refining natural quartz crystal with gas, resulting in a material containing trace metal impurities in the parts-per-million range.

Key characteristics include:

·       Hydroxyl Content: It exhibits an absorption peak at 100nm, related to its hydroxyl (OH) content, which ranges from 200 to 2730 ppm.

·       Structure: It possesses a characteristic striped and granular structure.

Optical Performance: It offers excellent optical performance within the 220-2500 nm wavelength band.  

Applications: This type of quartz glass is utilized to manufacture components such as sight glasses, panels, and pressed items.  

In essence, JGS2 provides a balance of optical performance and cost-effectiveness for applications within the UV to near-infrared spectrum.

Some of the applications for JGS2 include:

• condenser optics
• high temperature and pressure devices
• optical flats
• microscope slides
• sight glasses

The following equivalencies exist for Synthetic Quartz Silica (specifically JGS2):

• Heraeus: Homasil 1 ,2 and 3
• Dynasil: 1000,4000,5000 and 6000  

It is important to understand that these are considered equivalent materials, meaning they share similar properties, particularly regarding their high purity and excellent UV transmission.
