Insulation ceramic MACOR®

Building on Corning’s 160 years of innovation, MACOR® machinable glass ceramic is a solid, trusted foundation that can help you realize your designs quicker. Its unique combination of properties makes it an easily machinable, versatile, and high performing material even in harsh operating environments where precision is a necessity. MACOR reduces fabrication times and is tested to fit complex design requirements even within a short turnaround time, as it remains stable at high temperatures and high pressure. MACOR’s properties enable great design flexibility, which in turn translates into a high speed-to-market rate for new industrial products, with minimal additional investments. MACOR is also clean, and exhibits zero porosity. MACOR® is a mica glass ceramic material with a unique combination of properties. It is: • A versatile ceramic material with technical strength and insulation properties exceeding high performance plastics • Easily machinable using conventional metalworking tools • Fast turnaround, no post firing required • Holds tight tolerances, up to .0005" • Clean, no outgassing and zero porosity • Won't deform, unlike ductile materials • Has low thermal conductivity, is an excellent electrical insulator • Radiation resistant • Can be soldered - both to itself and to a wide range of materials Breaking Barriers to Industrial Innovation This versatile material is employed worldwide across a variety of cutting edge industries, including but not limited to: • Aerospace • Semiconductor/ Electronics • Medical and Laboratory Equipment • Laser Systems • Ultra-high and constant vacuum environments ....and even Nuclear-Related Research
