Manufactured at our dedicated Donghai quartz smelting and CNC laser processing facility, serving Munich equipment manufacturers, restaurant heating fleets, and industrial thermal process engineers with strict geometric accuracy.
Munich's geographic proximity to the Bavarian Alps exposes outdoor heating assemblies to sudden temperature plunges, freezing rain, and aggressive thermal cycling. Standard borosilicate glass tubes frequently suffer catastrophic thermal stress cracking under these environmental stressors.
With a thermal expansion coefficient of merely 5.5 × 10⁻⁷ /°C, fused quartz expands less than 1/10th the rate of normal soda-lime glass and roughly 1/6th that of borosilicate 3.3. It can withstand instant submersion into ice water from an operating emitter temperature of 1000°C without mechanical rupture.
Our JGS2 and JGS3 grade fused quartz delivers over 92% spectral transmittance across the 0.8 μm to 3.5 μm range. It minimizes internal absorption within the glass matrix, preventing overheating of the protective tube and maximizing directional radiant heating to patio occupants.
Boasting a softening point of 1683°C and continuous operational ceiling of 1100°C, our quartz tubes retain rigid mechanical straightness under vertical cantilever or horizontal suspension over thousands of operating hours without geometric deflection.

High-purity quartz bell jars, furnace liners, and analytical combustion tubes supporting Munich's academic clusters and high-tech wafer manufacturing plants requiring low ion leaching.
Heavy-walled protective quartz containment tubes deployed in rapid-response infrared de-icing arrays for rail turnouts, overhead connectors, and public terminal zones across MVG transport corridors.
Custom-fabricated clear, frosted, and flanged quartz glass tubes fabricated to millimeter drawing specs for upscale private villas, penthouses, and architectural landmarks across Bogenhausen and Nymphenburg.
The City of Munich (*Landeshauptstadt München*) enforces progressive municipal environmental regulations targeting outdoor space heating efficiency and carbon emissions reductions under the Munich Climate Protection Action Program.
With municipal restrictions increasingly phasing out inefficient propane-fueled mushroom heaters (*Heizpilze*) in public spaces, commercial venues are adopting directional, short-wave and medium-wave electric infrared heaters shielded by low-loss quartz tubes, reducing localized CO₂ footprints by up to 65%.
All quartz tubes manufactured by Zunex for the European Union comply fully with the EU Low Voltage Directive, RoHS raw-material purity restrictions, and DIN EN 60335-2-30 electrical safety requirements for commercial radiant room and outdoor heating devices.
In high-traffic commercial environments, recurring tube replacement causes significant maintenance overhead. Zunex heavy-wall fused quartz tubes exhibit high scratch resistance, zero thermal micro-fracturing, and complete chemical resistance against urban smog, road salt mists, and cleaning detergents.
Direct manufacturing control in China's quartz capital — Donghai County — paired with rapid European B2B trade coordination and guaranteed drawing compliance.
When Munich engineering or purchasing departments submit CAD drawings, STEP files, or technical tenders, our quartz fabrication engineers review dimensional tolerances, wall thickness stability, and flame-polishing feasibility within 2 hours.
Our facility specializes in proprietary quartz laser drilling, precision cutting, slotting, and edge-chamfering. This eliminates the micro-fissures typical of mechanical abrasive cutting, ensuring peak tensile endurance during high-frequency heating cycles.
Every batch destined for Germany is wrapped in bespoke high-density shock-absorbing EPE foam, packed inside vacuum air chambers, and enclosed in heavy-duty fumigated wooden crates with tilt/impact telemetry indicators, ensuring zero-breakage arrival at Munich Airport (MUC) or your warehouse.
