Vitreous silica

Vitreous silica, also known as fused silica, is a type of glass made from pure silicon dioxide. It is created by melting silica at very high temperatures until it becomes a clear, transparent, and durable material. Unlike regular glass, vitreous silica has a nearly perfect internal structure without crystalline patterns, giving it excellent thermal stability, chemical resistance, and optical clarity. It is commonly used in industries such as electronics, optics, and scientific instruments because of its high purity and ability to withstand extreme conditions without deforming.
