Quartz Wool Description and Specification
Quartz wool is frequently used to fix filler and as a high-temperature insulator.Quartz wool is frequently used to fix filler and as a high-temperature insulator. Pesticides and other easily degradable samples are treated with silane, while acidic samples, including fatty acids and sulfur compounds, are treated with phosphate. The diameter of the fiber is categorized into three categories: coarse, fine, and ultra-fine. Coarse fibers have a thickness of 12 to 15 microns, and fine wool has a thickness of 7-9 microns. Because of its high surface area and thin thickness (approximately 3 microns), ultra-fine quartz wool is comparatively expensive. It can withstand high temperatures with ease. It is also non-flammable, non-combustible, and chemically inert, which makes it more desirable in the industry. We extrude high-purity rods (10-20ppm metallic) into micron diameter to yield the product. This is then gathered and packaged in various packing ranges such as 50gm, 100gm, 500gm, and 1 kg. Fine wool (4-8 micron diameter) and coarse wool are available in 1/2 pound packs (8-15 micron diameter). Quartz wool can withstand temperatures of up to 1100 degrees Celsius.

Applications of Quartz Wool
Quartz Wool is the best mineral to utilize as an insulator due to its excellent thermal resistance and non-flammability. Because of its exceptional temperature resistance, it is mainly used for insulation. It is used in corrosive fluid and gas filtration, air pollution control, acid filtering, catalyst support, assistance bed in the distillation and HPLC column, IR heat diffuser, filler for analytical instruments, and numerous other applications. The fibers are shaped into the form of wool and can be utilized to make a variety of insulating goods.
How to Use it?
Quartz Wool are mainly used as an insulation bed for catalysts in the reactor column. It is also utilized in a high-temperature reaction mainly as an insulator.
