B Grade Fused Silica for Industrial Applications
An option when the verified chemistry and particle size meet the technical need and the budget. Ask for the COA and the sizes currently available.
Chemical composition
| Item | A Grade | B Grade |
|---|---|---|
| SiO₂ | 99.9% min | 99.8% min grains; 99.7% min powder |
| Fe₂O₃ | ≤ 100 ppm | ≤ 200 ppm |
| Al₂O₃ | ≤ 200 ppm | ≤ 200 ppm |
| Na₂O | ≤ 100 ppm | ≤ 200 ppm |
| K₂O | ≤ 100 ppm | ≤ 100 ppm |
| MgO | ≤ 200 ppm | ≤ 200 ppm |
| CaO | ≤ 100 ppm | ≤ 100 ppm |
| Magnetic impurities | ≤ 50 ppm | ≤ 100 ppm |
These are typical values from the product data. Chemical composition, particle size and other limits are confirmed on the COA and the quotation before the order.
