Quartz glass is one of the most extraordinary materials used in industry and research. Due to the combination of a number of very specific properties not found in any other material, quartz glass has cleared the way for many high-tech applications.

Decades year of experience and constant development have given  AME the competence to manufacture this extraordinary material in well-established and innovative production processes and to tailor its properties to the intended application.

Sharing our knowledge and expertise, enables our customers to better understand their processes and fused silica itself.

A number of unique optical, mechanical and thermal properties have made quartz glass an indispensable material in the fabrication of high-tech products.

Among these are:

• high chemical purity and resistance,

• high softening temperature and thermal resistance,

• low thermal expansion with high resistance to thermal shocks,

• high transparency from the ultraviolet to the infrared spectral range,

• high radiation resistance.
