Preform

Synthetic quartz preform is one of the product groups of Shin-Etsu Chemical that specializes in silicon chemical business. It is a rod based on synthetic quartz of high purity. The inner structure is designed so precisely that any incident light passes through without attenuation.

The production capacity has since doubled, further establishing a system of stable supply.
