Silicaware
(also know as Fused Silica / Vitreous Silica / Quartz Glass / Silica Glass / Fused Quartz)
Available in Crucibles, Ashing Trays and Dishes
- Unaffected by all halogens and acids regardless of temperature or concentration (with the exception of hydro-fluoric and phosphoric acid) The latter affects fused silica only at high temperatures and it is possible, therefore to concentrate phosphoric acid successfully in silica vessels. For all ordinary purposes they can be used with phosphoric acid.
- Sulphuric, Nitric and Hydrochloric acids or any mixture of these acids, such as acquaregia, have no action on Infusil even at temperatures upto 1000ºC.
- Salts and basic oxides react at elevated temperatures, particularly above their melting point.
- Fused silica is not sensitive to abrupt temperature changes.
- Red hot fused silica may be dipped in water without damage
