About us

The research company KRIN carries out activities in the field of research of high-purity quartz, synthetic silica and related applications. Our developments are aimed at improving technologies for purification and evaluating the raw material base of high purity quartz materials used for the production of a wide range of innovative products - from elements of the semiconductor industry to the solar panels.

Our mission is to meet the needs of existing and potential producers of high purity quartz in improving purification technology and expanding the raw material base of production. 

We achieve this through investments in research and development, which has resulted in our patents as well as continuous modernization of our technologies and a personalized approach to each customer's specific raw material requirements.

Our team has a unique experience in developing and implementing original technologies for producing high-purity quartz with semiconductor quality and introducing new grades of high-purity quartz to the world market.  

We not only rely on our many years of experience and research but also actively involve our partners - a number of research and academic organizations.

 The main areas of our activity:

        - development and improvement of technology for the HPQ production          

        - development of technology for the production of synthetic silica          

        - comprehensive assessment of raw materials for the organization of HPQ and syntetic silica production                  - audit of potential HPQ deposits and existing HPQ production facilities          

        - development of individual technological solutions for HPQ manufacturers
