Manufactured to micron tolerances under ISO 9001 certified conditions. Each component delivers exceptional thermal shock resistance, transmission integrity from 185 nm to 3,500 nm, and trace-element control.
Operating from Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, Donghai Kemzo Quartz Products Co., Ltd. sits at the heart of the world’s most extensive natural silica reserve. We combine natural raw crystal sorting with chemical vapor synthetic routes, maintaining absolute control over thermal deformation, bubble grading, and micro-flatness.
Every fused silica plate and custom optic undergoes full-spectrum spectrophotometric measurement, double-sided interferometric surface testing (λ/4 or λ/10), and strict stress polariscope inspection to ensure zero latent micro-cracks before dispatch.
Equipped with 5-axis ultrasonic CNC glass processing systems, we achieve tight dimensional tolerances down to ±0.02 mm. Capabilities include circular step cuts, counterbores, high-aspect ratio micro-holes, laser marking, and 45° precision protective chamfering.
Recognizing that silica plates and photomask substrates cannot tolerate static friction or particulate contamination, all parts are cleaned via multi-stage ultrasonic deionized washing, class-100 cleanroom sealed, and boxed in custom high-density shock-absorbing crates.
Selecting between Synthetic Fused Silica (JGS1), Optical Grade Fused Quartz (JGS2), and Industrial/Thermal Fused Silica (JGS3) requires a thorough understanding of Hydroxyl ion [OH¯] content, bubble inclusion classes, and spectral working bands.

International sourcing of precision silica components is evolving past simple component purchasing. Global supply chains face shifting purity demands, carbon audits, and strict sub-nanometer planar requirements.
With advanced semiconductor nodes migrating toward advanced packaging and extreme UV/DUV mask lithography, wholesale procurement now mandates double-sided planetary polishing yielding surface roughness ($Ra$) under 0.3 nm, accompanied by Zygo laser interferometer certification.
To avoid secondary markups from Western traders, Tier-1 instrument integrators are executing Direct Factory Agreements with Chinese manufacturers in Donghai, securing raw feedstock stability, raw SiO₂ batch purity records, and verified batch-level ICP-MS metal testing.
Purchasing managers increasingly reject raw-cut blanks in favor of finished sub-assemblies. This includes fused silica plates pre-metallized with chromium/gold coatings, integrated Kovar or titanium alloy flanges, and laser-machined microfluidic channels.
From excimer laser damage resistance to renewable energy manufacturing lines, high-purity fused silica plates are fundamental to next-generation clean technologies and extreme-condition optics.
Modern picosecond and femtosecond fiber lasers require optical plates with ultra-low internal absorption. Developing synthetic silica matrices with zero metallic inclusions prevents thermal ionization breakdown under GW/cm² power densities.
The rapid scaling of TOPCon and Perovskite-Silicon tandem solar cells demands oversized fused silica furnace baffle plates capable of withstanding constant 1200°C corrosive gas diffusion atmospheres without devitrification or sagging.
Emerging aerospace sensor windows require fused quartz plates that maintain vacuum-tight hermetic seals during hypersonic aerodynamic friction heat spikes, bridging the thermal expansion gap between high-strength structural alloys and silica.
