Pyromatics’ uses patented (CR) technologies to not only manufacture standard grades of fused-quartz but also uniquely-engineered materials with tailored thermal, mechanical and electrical properties. Pyromatics is the only known company that utilizes molding as a manufacturing process to produce a diverse product range of shapes and sizes in clear, translucent and opaque grades of fused quartz. Molding consists of rapidly fusing pre-formed shapes over purified-graphite molds to form one-piece (seamless) fully-dense articles (tanks, trays, crucibles, etc). Shapes are molded “to-size” allowing for consistent dimensional control and uniform wall thickness. Pyromatics is also the singular company that offers a microstructurally engineered fused-quartz designed for thermal management (LD series of materials). These materials are opaque and are exceptional insulators to heat transfer via radiation and conductivity. Commercial grades of clear, translucent and opaque fused-quartz are manufactured into a wide range of shapes and sizes for the industrial market. Product purity ranges from 99.0% to 99.998%. The clear and translucent grades are considered theoretically dense and the opaque grades are manufactured to a lower density (closed-pore LD Series) to enhance thermal conductivity and block light transmission. Product shapes vary and include both simple and complex geometries. Simple shapes consist of cylinders, crucibles, trays and plates and are frequently used for single-crystal silicon growth by the Czochralski method, for solder pots/liners, for metal and rare earth powder processing, for refining of precious metals and for a variety of laboratory and other uses. Square/rectangular tanks, domes, and other geometries are used in semiconductor, solar and fiber-optic manufacturing. Presently, our maximum OD and height capability is 25 and 16 inches, respectively. Thermal management materials (LD opaque grades) can also be shaped to a desired geometry or manufactured into flat plates (up to 25 inches OD and up to 2 inches thick) for subsequent grinding. In many instances, Pyromatics’ parts and materials have been OEM specified for over 20 years and are presently being designed into next generation process equipment by world-class Advanced Engineering/Research groups.
