MACOR® can be considered a unique, technical material with a composition comprising 55% fluorophlogopite mica and 45% borosilicate glass. The white, ordorless and non-outgassing material exhibits zero porosity and is favoured due to its ability to machined with ordinary metalworking/machining tools rather than more expensive diamond tooling required to machine hard materials such as alumina.

MACOR® comes with a wide range of benefits:

Easily machinable
Withstands high temperatures
Low thermal conductivity
Holds tight tolerances
Electrical insulator
Zero porosity and no outgassing
Strong & rigid
Highly polishable
Can be soldered to a wide range of material
