Profile: Quartz Tubing, Inc. manufactures quartz heating elements. Our product line includes quartz heaters, threaded studs, halogen heaters, power controls, infrared dryers, and workspace heaters. Our directional quartz elements feature shielding that deflects radiant energy away from the shielding side of the tube. This creates a "cool side" and is ideal for heating environments where it is undesirable to radiate heat in all directions. Gold plated directional heating elements are effective in blocking unwanted radiation that can hold the hand within a few centimeters of the plated side, while intense, full-power heat is emitted in the opposite direction.
