The high-purity fibre-grade silicon tetrachloride produced by YOFC's wholly-owned subsidiary, Hubei Flying Optical Fibre Material Co., Ltd., is manufactured using a multi-column continuous distillation process combined with molecular sieve adsorption technology. High-purity SiCl4 serves as the primary raw material for optical fibre preforms. This product meets the requirements of three mainstream optical fibre preform manufacturing technologies: PCVD, OVD, and VAD.
