Low OH Content Less Than 2PPM Quartz Tubes for Metal Halide Lamp
At high temperature, the hydroxyl group can release water vapor and hydrogen gas, which destroys normal operating conditions and makes the lamp go out. Low hydroxyl content is very important in electric lighting.
Product Features:
● High purity
● Low alkali metal element
● Low OH content
● High UV transmittance
● High UV radiation resistance

Manufacturing Process:
Low OH quartz tubes are typically produced using a synthetic process that involves the vapor-phase hydrolysis of silicon tetrachloride (SiCl₄) in a hydrogen-oxygen flame. This process allows for precise control over the OH content and other impurities.
