Quick answer: Double-Side Polishing JGS2 Quartz Glass covers JGS2 Quartz Glass (CTE 0.55 x 10^-6 /K, 220 nm – 2.5 um); Double-Side Polishing to TTV under 3 um. Prototypes ship in 5-10 working days.
We DSP-polish JGS2 Quartz Glass daily, in thicknesses from 0.1 – 10 mm. The controlling numbers: TTV under 3 um working tolerance, Ra below 0.5 nm both faces minimum features, and 60/40 to 20/10 both faces off the machine. Where the drawing asks for more, downstream lapping and polishing take over.

What the process holds
Double-Side Polishing earns its place through wafer-grade parallelism and sub-nanometer roughness on both faces simultaneously. Its boundary condition – parts must be round or near-round; strongly asymmetric outlines wedge in the carriers – is the first thing our DFM review checks.
Beyond this page, JGS2 Quartz Glass routinely runs through ultrasonic machining, grinding, laser cutting, lapping in our shop – most real parts combine two or three of these steps.
Specification advice
Three items decide most of the cost and lead time on this work:
- Material note: thicker blanks need stress-relief annealing before tight-flatness grinding.
- Process boundary: parts must be round or near-round; strongly asymmetric outlines wedge in the carriers.
- Over-specification is the quiet budget killer: a 20/10 scratch-dig face costs roughly three times an 80/50 face, so grade each surface individually.
For the complete framework, see the tolerance design guide and the holes and edges design guide.

Common questions
What tolerances are achievable on JGS2 Quartz Glass parts?
Ground features hold +/-0.01 mm and lapped thickness reaches +/-0.003 mm. Thicker blanks need stress-relief annealing before tight-flatness grinding.
What thickness range do you stock for JGS2 Quartz Glass?
Standard stock spans 0.20 – 40 mm, with blanks up to 300 mm diameter. Other formats are sourced per order.
How does JGS2 Quartz Glass behave under heat?
CTE is 0.55 x 10^-6 /K and continuous service reaches 1,100 C continuous, which is what drives its use where visible and near-IR clarity matters.
What accuracy does double-side polishing hold?
TTV under 3 um with minimum features of Ra below 0.5 nm both faces. Parts must be round or near-round; strongly asymmetric outlines wedge in the carriers.
