Quartz Fiber Fabrics

Quartz fiber, offers exceptional properties that make it highly valuable across various industries.  

Quartz fiber's transparency to electromagnetic waves, especially in microwave and radio frequencies, is crucial for radomes used in radar and communication systems. Additionally, quartz fiber's low dielectric constant minimizes signal loss and interference, making it ideal for telecommunications and antenna applications. Its versatility further enhance its appeal in a wide range of industries, from satellite communications and weather sensing to in-flight entertainment systems and air navigation. 

Its durability against UV rays and chemical corrosion makes it suitable for outdoor and aerospace applications. Moreover, its lightweight nature coupled with a high strength-to-weight ratio reduces overall weight in aerospace structures while maintaining robustness. 

Its low thermal expansion coefficient ensures stability under temperature variations, ideal for precision instruments and mechanical components requiring dimensional consistency. With high strength and resilience, quartz fiber withstands mechanical stress and impacts, crucial for aerospace applications. Its heat resistance allows it to endure elevated temperatures without deformation, essential in environments with high thermal loads. 

In summary, quartz fiber's unique combination of properties— electromagnetic transparency, low thermal expansion, high strength, and durability—makes it indispensable in advanced technologies and industries where reliability and performance under extreme conditions are essential. 

Bhor offers a range of Quartz fabrics with different areal weights and weave patters to suit the processing and application requirements. In addition, we can manufacture contour woven socks used for specialty applications which can be manufactured to spec as per the design requirements. 

Fabrics made from Quartz Fibers can also be combined with Epoxy and Cyanate Ester Resin Systems to be offered as prepregs, for more information please read our Prepreg and Resin Systems’ sections.
