Infrasil is a type of fused quartz produced by electrically fusing high quality quartz crystals. Infrasil has three times higher metallic impurity than Suprasil, so it shows reduced UV transmission. However, Infrasil has a lower OH content than Suprasil, and consequently better IR transmission. Infrasil exhibits high strength and low thermal expansion and its homogeneity is better than that of Suprasil. 2, record 1, English, - Infrasil%C2%AE
