General Industrial Suppliers
24-07-2008
  • is Machinable with ordinary metal working tools
  • allows Fast Turnaround, no firing required
  • holds Tight Tolerances, to 0.01 mm / 0.0005 in.
  • withstands High Temperature, up to 1000 °C
  • is Vacuum Compatible, no outgassing and zero porosity

With MACOR ® Machinable Glass Ceramic, fabrication is fast - because it can be machined into complicated shapes and precision parts with ordinary metal working tools, quickly and inexpensively, and it requires no firing after machining.

MACOR ® is available in round bar, sheet or rectangular bar.
