At Heraeus Conamic, we lead the industry in producing high-quality glass that enables our customers to develop cutting-edge technologies based on optical fibers. We pride ourselves on being a valuable partner to our customers: we provide the good glass, they develop great fiber solutions.
The silica glass we produce for Specialty Fiber applications is Fluosil®, a brand that has been synonymous with purity, reliability and quality for decades.
Our silica glass enables our customers to produce high-performance fibers for industrial manufacturing, medical lasers and scientific applications. 

Benefits of our glass

Transmission Waves Icon Grey
Wide Transmission Spectrum

Bandwidth of material transmission is vital for the material effectiveness in fiber optics. Heraeus Conamic fused silica is specially designed to provide a broad transmission spectrum, optimizing it for improved light passage over various spectral ranges

Metal Beam Icon Grey
Outstanding Resistance

Transmission efficiency and resistance to damage are critical for high-power laser and UV applications. Heraeus Conamic fused silica stands out by providing exceptional transmission capabilities and an unparalleled high damage threshold

Diamond Icon Grey
High Purity

High-power applications demand materials with minimal contamination and low absorption. The exceptional purity of Heraeus Conamic fused silica renders it perfectly suited for these stringent requirement

Ensuring Fiber Integrity

Contaminants have the potential to cause fiber breakage during the drawing process. With Heraeus Conamic fused silica, a synthetic gas phase deposition process is employed to achieve low breakage rates
