Expertise in rod making
 
j-plasma silica rods are manufactured by the Plasma Based Deposition (PBD) process. Pure synthetic fused silica is deposited in axial direction from a starting element. A high-frequency plasma torch is used as a heating source for the chemical reaction of SiCl4 and Oxygen. The high temperature plasma leads to chemical deposition conditions, which produce a low OH synthetic silica.
