Material Composition | Optical instruments, high-temperature insulation | - Industry Standard: BK7 Glass (Refractive Index: 1.5168 ▲) - Our Base: K9 Glass (1.5163 ▲▲) - Our Advanced: Fused Silica (1.458 at 20°C ▲▲▲) (ISO 7884/ASTM F1577 compliance) | Advanced material (Fused Silica) offers 99.99% SiO₂ purity for minimal distortion. Lightweight and durable for precision applications. | Fused Silica requires specialized machining, increasing production costs. |
Optical Clarity | Lighting fixtures, lenses | - Industry Standard: 90% light transmission ▲ - Our Base: 92% ▲▲ - Our Advanced: 95% ▲▲▲ (ISO 13457-2 certification) | Enhanced clarity reduces light loss in high-end applications like projectors. | Advanced materials may require anti-reflective coatings for optimal performance. |
Thermal Resistance | Industrial insulation, aerospace | - Industry Standard: 500°C max ▲ - Our Base: 600°C ▲▲ - Our Advanced: 1000°C ▲▲▲ (ASTM C113 testing) | Advanced rods withstand extreme temperatures (e.g., furnace components). | Limited availability of fused silica for high-temperature versions. |
Mechanical Strength | Structural components, load-bearing | - Industry Standard: 300 MPa bending strength ▲ - Our Base: 350 MPa ▲▲ - Our Advanced: 450 MPa ▲▲▲ (ASTM C1499 standard) | Advanced rods reduce breakage risk in heavy-duty machinery. | Heavier materials may increase shipping costs. |
Customization Options | Bespoke lighting, scientific equipment | - Industry Standard: Fixed sizes ▲ - Our Base: Custom lengths/diameters ▲▲ - Our Advanced: Full customization (textures/coatings) ▲▲▲ (ISO 3094 precision tolerance) | Advanced customization enables tailored solutions (e.g., frosted ends for diffused light). | Custom orders may have longer lead times. |
Surface Finish | Aesthetic decor, precision tools | - Industry Standard: Smooth finish only ▲ - Our Base: Frosted/polished ends ▲▲ - Our Advanced: Matte, frosted, or UV-resistant coatings ▲▲▲ (ASTM D523 gloss measurement) | Advanced finishes enhance aesthetics (e.g., frosted ends for ambient lighting). | Specialty coatings add to production complexity. |
