MACOR
High Temperature Machinable Glass/Ceramic

MACOR MACHINABLE GLASS/CERAMIC can be easily machined into complex forms without hard tooling or intricate filing proceedures. Macor instantly transforms a standard machine shop to an "in house" Ceramics Fabrication Facility. With features like 1100°C operating tempature and 0° porosity Macor can be used for the toughest of applications. Specify Macor for economic, design flexibility that you control.
