Chemical Applications

Both glass and ceramics are used in chemical processing equipment. Glass is particularly useful in chemical applications as it is inert, impervious, and transparent, and can be formed into accurate and intricate shapes.

Examples of chemical applications include:

Semiconductor processing

Both quartz and ceramic components are used in the semiconductor processing industry.

Ball valves

Alumina ball valves are used in handling corrosive liquids.

Chemical processing

Borosilicate glassware is widely used for chemical research and processing equipment.

The glassware can be calibrated if required.
