Custom Fabrication & Standard Offerings
TGP delivers bespoke fused quartz components—from small-diameter tubing to large furnace tubes and bell jars—crafted to exact customer specifications using seasoned technical glassblowers and engineers.
Their stock inventory includes a wide selection of:
- Labware: flasks, beakers, test tubes, crucibles, evaporating dishes
- Connectors: standard taper, ball & socket, flat O-ring, GL-threaded joints
- Raw forms: tubing, rods, discs, plates, flanges
- Specialty items: quartz to Pyrex graded seals, fritted discs, quartz wool and felt
Product Types & Professional Applications
- Tubing & Rods
Excellent thermal shock resistance and UV transparency make TGP’s quartz tubing and rods ideal for high-temperature processes, UV optical systems, and semiconductor equipment. - Labware & Connectors
Tailored flasks, beakers, test tubes, and connectors suit chemistry, materials research, and photolithography, holding up under harsh chemical and heat‑stress environments. - Discs, Plates & Furnace Components
Custom discs, plates, and furnace tubing are crafted for high‑temperature, pressure‑loaded applications such as vacuum systems, industrial furnaces, and optical windows. - Quartz Wool & Felt
Fused quartz wool and felt offer non‑flammable insulation for kiln linings, seals, and high‑temperature gasketing. - Fritted Discs & Graded Seals
Porous frit discs and graded seals are engineered for filtration, diffusion, and integrated assemblies with materials like Pyrex, commonly used in scientific instrumentation.
