Bioactive Glass

Bioactive glasses are a group of glass-ceramic products which are surface reactive. These products are biocompatable, and used as implant devices in order to assist bone and tooth repair. The market is growing rapidly, with demand growing in both the pharmaceutical and veterinary industries.

The QUARTZ Corp is a key supplier of high purity quartz sand to the bioactive glass industry in Europe. Ultra pure, non-reactive quartz glass ensures no contaminations are introduced to the bioactive glass mixture, essential for patient safety.

Fillers

Quartz sand is widely used as a filler in industry, from simple applications such as cast statues to more complex applications such as engineered stone and epoxy moulding compounds (EMC). High bulk chemical purity is critical for technical and long term performance, while high surface purity is critical to minimise the number of available free ions in moulding compounds.

The QUARTZ Corp provides unique quartz from deposits in Spruce Pine which are ideally suited for all filler applications. Additionally, quartz sourced from Drag, Norway by the QUARTZ Corp has particularly low alpha radiation, making it suitable for high demand EMC.

Recommended Products:

NC4ACG
Calcined at higher temperatures in order to improve OH levels and performance.

Datasheets of all our high purity quartz products are available here.
