Fused Quartz Tubing
Semiconductor Quartz Tubing


Major semiconductor manufacturers around the world choose our semiconductor quartz tubing for its consistent chemical purity and high temperture resistance.  Our unique, vertically integrated manufacturing process allows us to meet customers' demands for quality and reliablity.

Grades
SYLVANIA produces two grades of quartz for the semiconductor industry.  These include SG25, our standard high purity grade and SG28, which provides for low alkali and therefore higher thermal resistance.  For each of these tubing grades we provide direct draw, resize, heavy wall, baked and unbaked options based on customers' specific needs.

Applications
Applications commonly include furnace tubes for oxidation, CVD and diffusion processes, end caps, transfer carriers, thermocouple tubes, wafer carriers, end plates, baffles, and bell-jars for epitaxial reactors.

Lighting Quartz Tubing


OSRAM SYLVANIA is a leading producer of quartz for the industry.  We combine high purity fused quartz products with a strong customer service initiative to meet the ever growing demands of the industry.

Grades and Applications

OSRAM SYLVANIA grades SG25A and SG25B and OSRAM OVISIL® grades 451, 452, and 454S are widely used in high-temperature arc and filament lamps requiring high purity to minimize devitrification and provide optimum sag resistance. These attributes contribute to the long life of these lamps at high operating temperatures.

Our "ozone free" grade SG26BZ ultra-violet absorbing fused quartz contains titanium dioxide as an additive, which eliminates UV transmission below 200 nanometers (nm). This prevents the formation of ozone when the 185 nm wavelength strikes oxygen. Our ozone free tubing is generally used germicidal lamps.  In addition, our standard SG25 grade is often used as "sleeve tubing" for germicidal lamps in UV water purification equipment.

OVISIL® 472 and 492, cerium doped quartz glass, are effective in applications where UV radiation is a concern.  Shrouds for High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps is a common application for our "UV Stop" tubing.
